Serenoa repens essential oil for medicinal use

Serenoa repens essential oil is derived from the berries of the saw palmetto plant, which is native to the southeastern United States.

This oil is commonly used in herbal medicine for its potential benefits in supporting prostate health and urinary function. It is often employed to alleviate symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and may help reduce inflammation in the urinary tract. The essential oil is typically used in topical applications or as a dietary supplement, though it should be diluted before use.

Its medicinal properties are attributed to compounds such as fatty acids and phytosterols that may have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects.
