DEVIL's CLAW

This valuable plant has been found effective in the treatment of some cases of arthritis type problems, especially where the bones are crumbling, there is pain or inflamation or any combination thereof. This action appears to be due to the presence of a glycoside [a class of compounds occurring in plants composed of a natural form of glucose sugar and one or two other products which often have medicinal properties] called harpagoside that reduces inflammation in the joints.

Devil's Claw is not effective in all kinds of arthritis problems, but it is well worth considering in cases where there is inflammation and pain and or the bones are crumbling. Also relieves liver and gall bladder complaints.

Dose |  40 drops to 1 tsp. three times per day
