Saw Palmetto
How it Works
Saw palmetto is a small creeping palm native to the southeast United States where it was an important food source for Native Americans. It has a long history of use in traditional herbal medicine and was once called the “plant catheter” due to its effect on the urinary system. Today, it is best known for its ability to help shrink an enlarged prostate gland in men and as a mild diuretic.

The story behind Saw Palmetto
Also called the American dwarf palm, saw palmetto was used historically for female reproductive issues and for prostate health. Native Americans, including the Seminoles of Florida, used its berries for food. Saw palmetto berries became part of Western medicine in the 1870s and were officially included in the US Pharmacopoeia in 1906. The fruit was listed in the National Formulary through World War II.
