Probably refers to Jamaican Root sarsaparilla (Smilax ornata). It was considered by Native Americans to have medicinal properties, and was a popular European treatment for syphilis when it was introduced from the New World. They used different parts of Sassafras albidum for many medicinal purposes such as treating acne, urinary disorders, and sicknesses that increased body temperature, such as high fevers. It is also a primary ingredient in old fashioned style as root beer, popular in N. America. Because Sassafras was banned by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration due to the carcinogenicity of its constituent safrole, most commercial recipes do not contain sassafras Original Format The type of object, such as painting, sculpture, paper, photo, and additional data Paper document Paper document Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
