Product Details
A member of the palm family and native to the coastal areas of Florida and Texas, saw palmetto was an important food source for Indians. They used the plant’s ground-up seeds as food and believed that the fruits had special health benefits. The plant’s fanlike branches were used as brooms by early English settlers, and, in modern times, saw palmetto is sometimes used for garden cover. In herbology, it is used primarily to support glandular tissues and balance the hormones.
