Uncaria Tomentosa, commonly known as cat’s claw, is a woody vine native to the tropical rain-forests of South and Central America (our extract hailing from Peru). Its name derives via the claw-shaped thorns on its stems. Traditionally, it has been used in herbal medicine for its potential health benefits, including supporting the immune system and reducing inflammation.
This plant is often used for various health conditions, such as arthritis, as an anti-cancer agent (kills tumors or slows their growth), or Alzheimer’s disease, but scientific evidence is still limited.
Here are a few notable uses:
- Immune Support: Cat’s claw is believed to boost the immune system, helping the body fight infections and illnesses.
- Anti-Inflammatory Properties: It may help reduce inflammation, making it potentially useful for conditions like arthritis and other inflammatory disorders.
- Antioxidant Effects: The herb contains compounds that combat free radicals, which can help protect cells from damage.
- Digestive Health: It has been used traditionally to treat gastrointestinal issues, such as ulcers and dysentery.
- Potential Antimicrobial and Antiviral Benefits: Some studies suggest it may have properties that fight bacteria and viruses.
While these benefits are promising, it’s important to note that more research is needed to fully understand its effectiveness.
