Cat's Claw 4:1

History:

Cat's Claw, frequently called by its Spanish name, Una de Gato, is a tropical, creeping, woody vine that climbs upright, and when it connects to canopy trees, may reach a length of one hundred feet or more. It is a native of the rainforests of the Peruvian Amazon, and its English name refers to the small, sharp spines on the plant's stem, which are curved back like a cat's claw. It belongs to the same plant family as the coffee plant, and the inner bark is used in herbal therapy. The native peoples of South America have used Cat's Claw for centuries for intestinal health, wounds, gonorrhea and also as a contraceptive. Current research is being carried out to reveal exciting applications for this herb, that, hopefully, will bring positive results. Some of the constituents in Cat's Claw include plant sterols, alkaloids, quinovic acid, glycosides, triterpenes, oleanolic acid, ursolic acid and alloisopteropodine.
