Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1

Sarsaparilla refers to several plants in the Smilax genus, and its roots have been used in traditional herbal medicine, especially in systems like Ayurveda and traditional Chinese medicine. Historically, sarsaparilla has been considered a "blood purifier" and used in liver-related ailments, including hepatitis, though this is based on traditional use rather than rigorous scientific studies. There is scant direct clinical evidence to support its efficacy in treating hepatitis specifically. Most of the available data are limited to in vitro or animal studies suggesting anti-inflammatory or hepatoprotective potential, often involving extracts or mixtures rather than standardized, clinically studied preparations. No well-designed human clinical trials have established sarsaparilla (mixed) as effective for hepatitis treatment or support. Thus, its use for hepatitis remains rooted in traditional practices without robust scientific validation, and any therapeutic claims should be approached with caution.
