Description
Commonly called una de gato, the bitter-tasting inner bark of cat's claw is used for colitis, Crohn's disease, influenza, colds, fevers (as an antiviral), AIDS, cancer, arthritis, and cardiovascular conditions. Anti-inflammatory, antirheumatic, antioxidant, antiviral, antitumor, antimicrobial, contraceptive, cytostatic, and immuno-stimulating properties are exhibited by this herb. Some studies have isolated the alkaloid, isoteropodine, as the principal active compound in cat's claw, but the herb also contains oxindole-alkaloids, rhyncophylline, N-oxide, carboline alkaloid, hirustine N-oxide triterpenes, polyphenols, and phytosterols (stigmasterol and campsterol).
This is considered one of the most powerful botanicals of the Amazon Peruvian rain forest. The natives have a wide use of applications for it, ranging from such acute conditions as headaches, colds, influenza, and fevers to the treatment of gastrointestinal problems (especially colitis, irritable bowel syndrome, Crohn's disease, and ulcers), tumors, arthritis, fibromylagia, asthma, and cardiovascular diseases, and as an immune tonic. this latter property has made it particularly useful for the treatment of AIDS. Cat's-claw is also a rich source of proanthocyanidin (pycnogenol), which is a powerful antioxidant and free radical scavenger. By detoxifying the gastrointestinal tract, cat's claw is also helpful in fostering the replenishment of friendly bacteria.
Dosage: Cat's-claw is available in dried and powdered form made into gelatin or compressed capsules. It can also be made into a tea using 1 tablespoon of the bark simmered in 1 cup of water. Take 1 cup three times daily or the equivalent dose in other forms.
