Serenoa repens is a small fan palm native to the southeastern United States. Also referred to as sabal, saw palmetto berries were once a food source for the Seminole people who also employed the dried reddish-black fruits for their wellness-supporting properties. The berries are considered energetically pungent, sweet, and warming. Saw palmetto berry has been used as a tonic to support the functioning of the male reproductive system.
Saw palmetto is traditionally thought to support healthy prostate functioning.*
Saw palmetto also goes by sabal palm and is a member of the Arecaceae family.
