Devil’s Claw | Harpagophytum procumbens | Duiwelsklou Capsules x 30

The African Rheuma Root

Devil’s Claw was introduced to Europe in the early 1900s. Since then, it has gained fame in the European and American continents for its medicinal properties. It is one of the chief medicinal plants that South Africa has given the world.

The name devil's claw is derived from the peculiar appearance of the hooked fruit, which resemble miniature grappling hooks.

For thousands of years, the Khoisan people of the Kalahari Desert have used the devil's claw root in herbal remedies. Devil's claw is used most commonly for rheumatism, arthritis, gout, general pain relief and degenerative disorders of the musculoskeletal system.

Externally it helps heal ulcers, boils, skin lesions, skin injuries and wounds.

Devil's claw apparently works like cortisone but without the bad side effects of that drug.
