Sassafras Root Cut 100g
Sassafras contains several compounds shown to reduce inflammation.
In fact, one test-tube study found that multiple compounds in sassafras, including sassarandainol, blocked the activity of enzymes that trigger inflammation.
Although acute inflammation is an important aspect of your immune function, chronic inflammation is thought to contribute to the development of conditions like heart disease, cancer, and diabetes.
However, research on the anti-inflammatory effects of sassafras tea is limited, and more studies are needed to understand if drinking this tea may reduce inflammation in humans.
Sassafras is thought to have natural diuretic properties.
Diuretics are substances that increase your urine production, helping your body excrete water and salt.
Diuretics are often used to treat issues like high blood pressure and fluid retention, especially in those who have chronic kidney disease.
Some people also use natural diuretics to flush out water weight and prevent bloating.
