Sarsaparilla - Whole - Hemidesmus indicus

Smilax regelii is a woody, perennial climbing vine native to tropical regions of Central America, South America, and the Caribbean. It is recognized by its heart-shaped, prominently veined leaves and sturdy stems bearing small, sharp thorns. The plant belongs to the Smilacaceae family and is also known as Jamaican, brown, or Honduran sarsaparilla.

Sarsaparilla root has a long history of traditional use among Indigenous communities of its native regions. It was traditionally prepared as a nourishing botanical beverage and later became well known as a characteristic ingredient in traditional root beer and other herbal drinks.
