The whole front third is covered with saw palmetto, and they're all in fruit. What do I do with them?? I hate to just leave them to waste. Sharyn -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

Guest guest Posted August 28, 2006 Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 Tincture them... eat them.... dehydrate them... Saw palmetto berries were a staple food among native Americans of the southeastern United States, who also used them to treat digestive problems, genitourinary inflammation, dysentary, and lack of libido. Early in the 20th century, saw palmetto was listed in the US Pharmacopoeia as an effective remedy for enlargement of the prostate gland (called benign prostatic hyperplasia or BPH), urinary tract inflammation, cystitis (bladder inflammation), breast disorders, bronchitis, and laryngitis. The berries, when ripe, turn bluish-black and are dried for medicinal use. Does this help?? Suzi"Sharyn E. Cerniglia" <sharyn.cerniglia@...> wrote: Hi all…we're moved into our new house.

Guest guest Posted August 28, 2006 Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 Native Americans regularly consumed this herb as a food, so they were probably not plagued by prostate problems. Now one of the ten best-selling supplements in the United States, saw palmetto is an herb with a man's troubles in mind. Common Uses: • Eases frequent nighttime urination and other symptoms of an enlarged prostate. • Relieves prostate inflammation. • May boost immunity and treat urinary tract infections. The saw palmetto, a small palm tree that grows wild from Texas to South Carolina, gets its name from the spiny saw-toothed stems that lie at the base of each leaf. With a life span of 700 years, the plant seems almost indestructible, resisting drought, insect infestation, and fire. Its medicinal properties are derived from the blue-black berries, which are usually harvested in August and September. This process is sometimes hazardous: Harvesters can easily be cut by the razor-sharp leaf stems, and they risk being bitten by the diamondback rattlesnakes that make their home in the shade of this scrubby palm. http://www.rd.com/content/openContent.do?contentId=1556 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 28, 2006 Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 Yes, it does. Thanks, Suzi. I knew they were good for lots of things, just didn't know how to prepare them or how to tell when they were ready to be used. Of course, Ernesto may not leave me any once he's done blowing through... 8-( Sharyn From: health [mailto:health ] On Behalf Of Suzanne Tincture them... eat them.... dehydrate them... -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
