I am in nursing school and one of my patients takes this for arthritis. Our pharmacology book has a lot of herbal drugs listed in it, but not this one. I know there is some stuff online about it, but I don't know how much of it is legit.
Does anyone know anything legitimate about the herb Yucca being used for arthritis?
Mayo Clinic says it is not good for arthritis.
Yucca supplements have long been touted as a possible treatment for osteoarthritis. However, except for one small preliminary study reported in 1975, there have been no published clinical trials evaluating its effectiveness in treating osteoarthritis. Yucca is a group of evergreen shrubs and trees that grows in arid regions of North America. Although scientific studies have validated many alternative and complementary therapies for osteoarthritis, yucca is not one of them.
Reply:Yucca being used for arthritis? No, I'm an herbalist and it is used for liver and gallbladder disorders.
Reply:Isn't Yucca a root?
