Yucca 4:1

History:

The Yucca belongs to a genus of stiff-leaved evergreen plants, trees and shrubs, and there are about fifty species native to North America, most of them native to the southwestern United States, Mexico and Central America. Some, however, are found in arid areas of southern Alberta, Canada. The coarse desert succulent has long, spike-like leaves that resemble a dagger, giving the plant several of its common names, i.e., "Spanish Bayonet" and "Spanish Dagger," and many are cultivated for their striking appearance as ornamentals. The various plants may grow anywhere from four to twenty-five feet in height and reproduce only by pollination of the Yucca moth, a perfect symbiotic relationship. Yucca typically grows on rocky desert slopes and thrives in full sun and well-drained soil; it also needs no summer water. The bark of Yucca is gray-brown, and the plant bears white, bell-shaped flowers, sometimes having a purple tinge, produced in a compact, bulbous cluster. Yucca occupied a very important place in the history of the American Southwest as both a nutritious food source and folk therapy, and it also served many other purposes. Navajo warriors carried the dried fruits with them during long journeys as a nutritious food (and soap), and the Hopis especially understood its natural cleansing properties. Considered a natural cleansing herb (both internally and externally), Yucca root has a long history as a soap, shampoo and hair tonic. Yucca's high natural saponins (sapo is the Latin word meaning "soap") will actually lather up, and the plant may be used as an effective soap substitute. The plant was used to support healthy hair and as an herbal hair rinse, and the fibers in Yucca were utilized in cloth-making, cordage and baskets. Some of the constituents included in Yucca are saponins, fiber, calcium, copper, manganese, potassium, phosphorus, B-vitamins and vitamins A and C.
