It is originated from Peru, but Europeans did a lot of research to know more about cat’s claw, because it has medical effects. In peru the local traditional therapies used it against inflammations, infections, tumours and against other deformations and arthritis.

German experts claim, that its content of active substances is largely depends on the matter, when the plant was harvested.

The cat’s claw strenghtens the immune system, because it makes the activity of the white corpscules more intensified, so they make more antibodies, in order to eliminate all kinds of bacterias, viruses or wogs. It eases inflammations, lowers high temperature and salves pain, so it blocks tumours to spread over the body. It is antioxidant so it makes the recovery time of the body shorter and this fact supports the endeavour against thrombosis and it also makes the blood circulation of smaller blood vessels more intensive and stimulated. Some of its active substances are diuretic or increases the parasymphatic functions of the autonomic nervous system.

It is useful to use the cat’s claw tea or other products made of it to strenghten the weak immune system and against chronic bacterial or fungoid infections. We aslo use it to cure the arthritis or tumours and we can use it as a complementary treatment of thrombosis, too.
