Description:

Yucca is a tree native to the United States. Yucca is a desert plant that grows in arid regions. It blooms at night and the fragrant white flowers attract the Pronuba Moth, which is the only insect that is capable of penetrating the shape of the yucca bloom. The moth lays eggs in the pollen of the plant. Without the Pronuba Moth there would be no Yucca because its pollen is too heavy to be wind-blown to fertilize other plants.

The saponins in Yucca are a precursor of natural coitsone normally produced by the adrenal glands. This makes it a popular remedy for all kinds of inflammation, such as arthritis, rheumatism, bursitis, colitis, and other inflammatory conditions.

Yucca is high in vitamins A, B and C and contains potassium, calcium, phosphorus, iron, manganese and copper which make it very soothing to the intestinal tract. The plant provides nutritional support to the structural system (bones, joints, muscles)

Dosage:

Yucca capsules may be taken to treat arthritis pain.

Yucca may be used as a poultice or in a bath for external inflammation.
