Yucca Root Powder Questions
Q. How do you use yucca root as a shampoo? My husband is Navajo and I have heard that that the Navajo swear it prevents baldness. Is it is a good treatment for a woman with no medical problems and unexplained thinning of the hair?
Asked by Amy on May 29, 2005.A. Our Yucca root is a therapeutic anti inflammatory phytosterol with the ability to break up inorganic mineral obstructions and deposits. Its primary uses are in pain relieving combinations for arthritic and joint pain, and sediment caused by inflammation such as gout, rheumatism, and cystitis. It is also used to establish a flora balance in the GI tract and for asthmatic relief. Yucca root may have a laxative effect. Yucca Gloriosa (also called as soapwood root) contain the compound saponin, which has detergent like properties and seems to have a particularly beneficial effect on the hair fiber. It is the saponin found in the Yucca Plant that creates foamy suds when agitated in water. To make your own Yucca Root Shampoo, start with yucca root (Yucca Gloriosa, not above) and peel the brown off of the root until you have exposed the white root inside. Once clean, take a hammer, smash the Yucca root until it breaks in pieces. Wet the Yucca root while holding it over a basin of warm water, rub the root like a bar of soap to get mounds of lather from it. Wash your hair with the lather for a few minutes, gently massaging the scalp. You must rinse well in luke-warm water to ensure that no Yucca root particles remain in your hair.
