BUSH DOCTOR: MEXICAN SARSAPARILLA ROOT
Wild Harvested Smilax Root | The Authentic "Iron Herb"
It's all about making healthier choices.
Bush Doctor Mexican Sarsaparilla is the real deal. Sourced directly from the wild forests of Mexico, this is the authentic Smilax genus root—not the cheaper Indian Hemidesmus often sold by competitors.
Known traditionally as Zarzaparrilla, this woody vine has been used for centuries by indigenous tribes and made famous by the Dr. Sebi Alkaline Diet for its high Iron content and reputation as a "blood purifier" and vitality tonic.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: Is this the "Dr. Sebi" Sarsaparilla? A: Yes, this is the Mexican Smilax variety that is widely recommended in the Alkaline Diet and electric food guides. It is NOT the Indian substitute.
Q: What is the difference between this and Indian Sarsaparilla? A: True Sarsaparilla (Smilax) contains unique plant chemicals called saponins. Indian Sarsaparilla (Hemidesmus indicus) is a completely different plant with different properties. We only sell the real Smilax root.
