This species of sarsaparilla is native to India and Ceylon, where it is also known as Anantmula, Beer Root and Sarivadvaya. The plant is also referred to as False Sarsaparilla because its root serves as a substitute for the tropical species of sarsaparilla.

The powdered root is sometimes encapsulated, but is more commonly used to produce teas, tinctures and extracts.

Indian sarsaparilla is a shrub-like plant that is native to India. The woody, aromatic rootstock is used as a flavoring agent and substitute for true sarsaparilla (Smilax sp.). Also known by the Sanskrit name of Sariva, the herb is considered a tonic in Ayurveda.

Indian sarsaparilla root is also used in the food industry as a food additive.

Indian sarsaparilla root tastes a little like vanilla bean. It makes an excellent addition to tea blends and chai recipes.
