Back in the Old West there were two kinds of drinkers: whiskey drinkers and sarsaparilla drinkers.  Most of the good guys like the sheriff were sarsaparilla drinkers and most of the bad guys were whiskey drinkers.  There is no whiskey in our detoxifying teas but there is sarsaparilla.  You can add your own whiskey if you like but that is up to you.    Sarsaparilla is added to the tea blends because of the many useful qualities it brings to the tea.  Sarsaparilla contains vitamins A, C, D and B-complex.  There are also many minerals like iron, manganese, sodium, silicon, copper, zinc, sulfur, and iodine that are found in sarsaparilla.

The female hormone progesterone and the male hormone testosterone are also found in sarsaparilla.  It can help to strengthen brain tissues and nerve fibers, lungs, throat, and spinal cord.  The most important reason that it is added to our detoxifying tea blends is that it acts as a very effective blood purifier and provides extra stamina and energy.  Because it contains testosterone it is believed that sarsaparilla will even make hair grow on balding men.

Sarsaparilla is a vine that is found in the rain forests of Central and South America and the indigenous tribes of this region often used this herb for a cure for sexual impotence, skin ailments, and to increase strength.  When Europeans discovered sarsaparilla, they soon found it useful to treat sexually-transmitted diseases.  Because sarsaparilla promotes urination and sweating, it is an excellent detoxifier and helps relieve fever.
