Native Americans used the fruit for food, but also as a general tonic and in the treatment of a variety of urinary and genital problems. For at least 200 years the European colonists learned of the use of Saw Palmetto for various conditions including asthenia (weakness) and recovery from major illness. In modern times, much research has been done on extract made from the fruits, which are highly enriched with fatty acids and phytosterols. Many men above the age of 50 may find supplementing with Saw Palmetto can be beneficial for prostate health. It is reported that Saw Palmetto acts to tone and strengthen the male reproductive system and may be used with safety where a boost to the male sex hormones is required.

    MORE INFORMATION

    Saw palmetto extract is an extract of the fruit of Serenoa repens. It is rich in fatty acids and phytosterols, and has shown promise in treating benign prostatic hyperplasia.

    For instance, the Eclectic physician H. W. Felter wrote of it, "Saw palmetto is a nerve sedative, expectorant, and a nutritive tonic, acting kindly upon the digestive tract...Its most direct action appears to be upon the reproductive organs when undergoing waste of tissue..."

    The Eclectics knew saw palmetto as more than a prostate herb. King's American Dispensatory, in 1898 claims:

    It is also an expectorant, and controls irritation of mucous tissues. It has proved useful in irritative cough, chronic bronchial coughs, whooping-cough, laryngitis, acute and chronic, acute catarrh, asthma, tubercular laryngitis, and in the cough of phthisis pulmonalis. Upon the digestive organs it acts kindly, improving the appetite, digestion, and assimilation. However, its most pronounced effects appear to be those exerted upon the urino-genital tracts of both male and female, and upon all the organs concerned in reproduction. It is said to enlarge wasted organs, as the breasts, ovaries, and testicles, while the paradoxical claim is also made that it reduces hypertrophy of the prostate. Possibly this may be explained by claiming that it tends toward the production of a normal condition, reducing parts when unhealthily enlarged, and increasing them when atrophied.

    In 2005, a long-term, placebo-controlled trial showed that a combination of saw palmetto fruit and nettle root extracts were effective in treating urinary tract symptoms in older men.

     

    MORE RESEARCH

    Other research has shown that the herb works by multiple mechanisms, including inhibiting 5-alpha-reductase, interfering with dihydrotestosterone binding to the androgen receptor, by relaxing smooth muscle tissue similarly to alpha antagonist drugs, and possibly by acting as a phytoestrogen.

    Because the fruit is the part used and because a prolific quantity is produced by an adult saw palmetto plant, this herbal medicine is considered ecologically sustainable.

    Though in vitro studies suggest saw palmetto has properties that might make it useful against prostate cancer cells or to reduce prostatitis, clinical trials are lacking.

    David Winston RH (AHG) describes a variety of conditions where Saw Palmetto extract is useful for men and women, using both research and ethnobotanical uses.
