The Benefits of Devil’s Claw
Osteoarthritis, spondylosis & gout
- the anti-inflammatory & analgesic powers of Devil’s Claw have been widely reported.
Rheumatoid arthritis
- rheumatoid arthritis is one of the commonest forms of autoimmune disease,
where an over active immune system causes damage to the joints. In addition to anti-inflammatory
and analgesic properties, Devil’s Claw has recently been shown to have normalising effects on the
immune system, helping to prevent further damage.
Digestive Disorders
- Devil’s Claw is said to have ‘bitter’ properties, which means it stimulates the
digestive processes.
Properties
Devil’s Claw contains beta-sitosterol & three members of the iridoid glycoside family-harpagoside, harpagide & procumbine.
The harpagoside appears to be mainly involved in the analgesic effect but it is also involved with beta-
sitosterol in the anti-inflammatory effect. The effect of whole Devil’s Claw was found to be better
than harpagoside on its own confirming that other active components are present.
Analysis gives Devil’s Claw a ‘bitter’ value equivalent to gentian root, the main western ‘bitter’ (an
agent used to stimulate the digestive juices).
Contra-indications / Precautions
Contra-indicated in people with gastric & duodenal ulcers because of its effects in stimulating the digestive processes.
Avoid during pregnancy or lactation.
Take medical advice before taking when suffering from heart disease, diabetes or gallstones.
