With an interesting name, you probably didn’t know that devil’s claw is a plant originating from Africa that possesses ancient medicinal powers that first cured the ailments of people living in Southern Africa.

To learn more, this article sheds light on its traditional and current uses.

Devil’s claw is a trailing perennial that can reach five feet in length. Fleshy leaves are produced, along with a woody fruit that appears barbed. In the spring, bright purple flowers emerge on the devil’s claw plant. Devil’s claw is native to the southern and eastern parts of Africa. There are also two related species found in the continent that are used in the same manner as devil’s claw.

Most commonly, you can locate devil’s claw on the veldt of the Transvaal. The plant is found in clay or soils with a high sand content. Roadsides and waste sites often see their fair share of devil’s claw, which enjoys growing in regions where natural vegetation has been cleared. During the springtime, the plant is propagated from a seed that generates young tubers that are ready for harvesting in the fall. This part of the plant is then cut into pieces that measure about 2 centimeters long. It is very important to note that when using devil’s claw , do not mix the tubers with the roots. This will make the herb ineffective.

Typical uses of devil’s claw includes anti-inflammatory properties, analgesic help, and for stimulating the digestive system. Research has been done on the herb to prove that it is effective in treating a variety of medical problems. In 1992, the French found that devil’s claw contained anti-inflammatory properties. There is also some proof that the herb can deliver pain relief and has been used to treat patients fighting joint pain symptoms. Additionally, devil’s claw is quite bitter and can stimulate the digestive system. If you have a poor digestive system or face difficulties absorbing food, consider devil’s claw as an effective remedy to aid the stomach and gall bladder.

Whether the tuber is sliced or chopped in its dried form, you may take advantage of devil’s claw when you’re ready to fight arthritis conditions. You can create a decoction to treat rheumatism by simmering one teaspoon of root in one cup of water for 15 minutes. It is suggested to then take small doses over the course of one to two days. You can also produce a devil’s claw tincture for treating arthritis that comes with poor digestion. Take 30 drops with water for two times daily. There are also over-the-counter tablets that some have found helpful in naturally treating their arthritis and rheumatism.

Traditionally, devil’s claw was used in southern Africa as a tonic to combat digestive woes, arthritis, and rheumatism. It also had the power to decrease the effects of a fever. When an ointment is made from devil’s claw, you can use it to treat bois, ulcers, and sores.

In the West, devil’s claw is commonly found as an over-the-counter treatment method that treats arthritis and rheumatic conditions. People with joint and muscular pain can benefit from devil’s claw, especially when hindered by fibrositis, back pain, gout, and rheumatoid arthritis.
