Serenoa creeping

Brief description

Serenoa creeper is native to the southeastern coast of the USA, so it is found mainly in South Carolina, Florida, Alabama and inland Texas. It is a small weedy palm that can grow up to 3 metres tall, but usually does not exceed 1 metre in height. It has saw-toothed broadly branched leaves, blooms white flowers, and after flowering produces dark red ovoid fruits that have been used by Native Americans since time immemorial to solve urinary problems. Around 1870, they began to investigate its effects scientifically. An extract is made from the fruit, which contains a large number of biologically active compounds.

Please be advised that our website can no longer make claims that are not EU approved health claims and could give the impression of any medicinal effect of herbs or mushrooms. Current EU legislation prohibits this. This is despite the fact that traditional Chinese medicine has worked for thousands of years and has been tested on countless patients. At the same time, we must not mention the effects proven by contemporary scientific studies. But we believe in the common sense of our customers. For detailed information about herbs and mushrooms, please search the publicly available sources on the Internet. For example, valuable information can be found at www.tcmencyklopedie.cz.
