Lakota uses: Pulverized roots are mixed with tepid water, this tea was used for belly-ache. These roots were mixed with roots of uŋkcéla blaská (flat cactus) to help mothers when they cannot give birth; but they're in danger that this may make hokśiyuhapi śni pejúťa (“medicine for not give birth”). The root is also used for the making of soap; soaking the hair in a root solution is a vermin killer; it is said also to make the hair grow. Fumes from burning roots allow a horse to be caught and haltered easily.
Use by other cultures: Soap made from crushed roots is said to be a very effective treatment for dandruff and skin irritations. The roots are used for many things. They are made into a poultice and applied to inflammations, wounds, bleeding cuts, sprains, etc., but the rotten roots can also be crushed and boiled to make suds, and drinking theses suds is said to induce menopause in women, thereby making them infertile.
Secondary compounds: Soapweed roots contain a toxin that is more toxic to animals other than humans called saponin. Saponins are found in many common foods such as beans. Once you slow cook them, the saponins are destroyed.
Distribution and habitat: In South Dakota it is frequent to common on dry prairie knolls and exposed ridges, except in the NE. One of the most interesting and studied aspects concerning yuccas is the relationship between the genus Yucca and the genus Tegeticula yuccasella, also known as the Tegeticula moth, also known as the yucca moth.
Description: A 3-4 ft. wide clump of pale-green dagger-like leaves subtends (to underlie or located below) the 4 1/2 ft. flowering stalk of this yucca. The 20-30 in. long leaves are evergreen persisting for several years. Bell-shaped greenish-white pendulous flowers are followed by woody oblong cream-colored seed capsules.

Soapweed Yucca is a member of the agave family (family Agavaceae). Agaves are stout plants with woody stems or stem-bases, often tall, even tree-like, the long and narrow leaves crowded in rosettes at ends of stems or branches, a stout rapidly growing flower stalk arising from the rosette. Members of this family are from tropical or warm regions, often where it is arid. There are about 20 genera and 700 species, many of which supply valuable fiber, such as sisal hemp.
