Cats Claw
By: Articles by a Naturopathic Doctor (N.D.)
Cat's Claw is a great way to fight viral illnesses...
Cat’s claw is an herb that comes to us from the rainforest and native civilizations like the Incas. The name of this climbing vine comes from the curved thorns that the plant uses to fasten itself onto other plants. Cat’s claw contains so many active ingredients that most of its actions can be contributed to several of its chemicals. It is best known as a immune modulator, meaning that it can increase deficient immune responses, which cause things like frequent colds and flus, as well as decrease improper immune responses, as happens in allergic reactions and inflammatory diseases.
Cat’s claw is and anti-inflammatory agent that can be used for chronic inflammations. It has antioxidant activity. Free radicals are unstable molecules that in their bid to become more stable must bump into healthy cells and cause damage. Cat’s claw’s antioxidant properties neutralize free radicals and therefore reduce damage the body, including damage to genetic material that may lead to cell changes. Cat’s claw is recommended by natural health practitioners for a variety of conditions including the following, viral infections, fungal infections, bacterial infections, arthritis, colitis, Crohn’s disease, stomach ulcers, and chronic fatigue syndrome.
Cat’s claw can be purchased as a loose herb, encapsulated herb or tincture. Cat’s claw may be found in formulas for pain relief, arthritis, colds and flus or intestinal cleansing. It takes three to eight years for cat’s claw vines to become large enough to harvest. Increased demand for this plant has made Cat's claw an endangered species in some South American countries. The government of Peru has implemented a planting campaign to preserve cat’s claw. You may want to inquire as to the source of the cat’s claw that you purchase.
Cat’s claw should not be used in pregnancy because it may lead to miscarriage. Due to catnip’s immunostimulating action those on immunosuppressive or immunoglobulin therapies, such as transplant recipients, should not use it. Cat’s claw decreases blood clotting and should not be used by people with active bleeding, those who have had surgery recently or those who use blood thinning medications, anti-inflammatories or aspirin.
