Cat's Claw

Used for over 2,000 years by the Ashaninka people of Peru, cat's claw (uña de gato) is one of the most important medicinal plants of the Amazon. Peruvian shamans use it in healing ceremonies and as an adaptogen. The plant's distinctive curved thorns resemble a cat's claw, giving it its name. Research interest exploded in the 1990s when studies showed powerful immune-modulating and anti-inflammatory effects.
