Not only does it strengthen the reproductive system, but by regulating the sex hormones, it may improve a person's vitality and sex drive. Renowned for its positive effects in the treatment of colds, asthma and lung conditions, saw palmetto is also a sound nutritive tonic for stimulating the appetite, relieving fatigue and in restoring hair loss. Equally, saw palmetto is a natural nourisher of the urinary tract and kidneys, and an effective energy booster and emotional stabiliser.
