What is Devil's Claw?
Devil's Claw is a plant native to North America, and has been used by
Native Americans, including the Cherokee, as a treatment for joint pain.
There are two types of Devil's Claw, both of which are found in the
Southwest United States and on the southern edge of Canada. It
is more commonly used in Europe and Africa, and has been used for
centuries to treat arthritis. It is a natural anti-inflammatory herb,
and has been shown to be a viable option for treating osteoarthritis as
well. Devil's Claw is made into a standardized extract, which is then
mixed with other herbs to make a remedy. The main active ingredient is Harpagide, which acts as a protease inhibitor. This
inhibits the activity of certain enzymes that cause pain and
inflammation in the body and may also inhibit the immune response to
joint damage. While the evidence for its effectiveness at preventing and
treating arthritis is not clear, this supplement may help to lower
inflammation and improved joint function in those with osteoarthritis.
