SPECIFICATION
Cat's claw (Uncaria tomentosa) is a tropical plant that grows in the rain-forest and jungle areas of South America and Asia. Some cultures refer to the plant as the "Sacred Herb of the Rain Forest".
The plant is considered a valuable medicinal resource and is protected in Peru. Many cultures native to the South American rain forest areas have used this herb for hundreds of years.
Current studies show it may have positive effects and boost the body's immune system.
The active substances in Cat's Claw are alkaloids, tannins and several other phytochemicals. Some of the alkaloids have been proven to boost the immune system. The major alkaloid rhynchophylline has anti-hypertensive effects and may reduce the risk of stroke and heart attack by lowering blood pressure, increasing circulation, reducing heart rate and controlling cholesterol.
Other constituents contribute anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and anticancer properties. Many treatments combine the herb with other plants and natural products to increase absorption and bioavailability.
Cat's Claw has long been used as a homeopathic treatment for intestinal ailments. Uses include: Crohn's disease, gastric ulcers and tumors, parasites, colitis, gastritis, diverticulitis and leaky bowel syndrome. By stimulating the immune system, it can also improve the body's response to viral and respiratory infections.
European clinical studies have used extract from Cat's Claw bark in combination with AZT in the treatment of AIDS. It is also used in the treatment and prevention of arthritis and rheumatism, as well as diabetes, PMS, chronic fatigue syndrome, lupus, and prostrate conditions.
