Traditional Uses: Traditionally used by Native Americans (Seminole tribe) as a food source and as a remedy for urinary and reproductive problems, including testicular atrophy and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
Potential Benefits: May help improve lower urinary tract symptoms associated with BPH, such as frequent nighttime urination, weak urine flow, and incomplete bladder emptying, with modest reductions in the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS).
Warnings: Generally well tolerated but may cause mild gastrointestinal upset, headache, or dizziness; avoid during pregnancy and breastfeeding (due to potential hormonal effects), and use cautiously with hormonal medications (including oral contraceptives) and blood thinners (potential increased bleeding risk).
