Cats Claw Bark

Uncaria tomentosa 

Cat's claw has been used by the indigenous people of South America for thousands of years for numerous inflammatory complaints. Its triterpenes help increase T cell activity, and can therefore be useful for keeping viruses at bay. Cat's claw's anti-inflammatory properties make it useful for rheumatism, fibromyalgia, arthritic conditions, asthma, inflammatory bowel issues, and most other chronic inflammatory conditions. It is also great for gut and bowel toning and cleansing in cases of Crohn's, leaky gut, gastritis, hemorrhoids, ulcers, and diverticulitis.
