Cat’s claw bark is a natural remedy useful for the physiological functions of the joints. It contributes to the maintenance of the body’s natural defenses.
Uncaria tomentosa is a natural food supplement that has anti-inflammatory, immunostimulant (it increases T and B lymphocytes and the phagocytosis), anti-oxidant and anti-viral effects.
It is useful to reinforce the body’s natural defenses, to decrease the inflammatory processes (against rheumatisms, arthrosis, arthritis), to relieve autoimmune processes, including asthma and allergic syndromes. Useful also for intestinal inflammations, such as gastritis and colitis.
Cat’s claw: it is a plant from the family of the Rubiaceae that grows in the Peruvian Amazon forest. It is a climbing plant with oaky stem and it can grow up to 20 meters. The Peruvian Indians used certain parts of this plant, also called “Una de gato”, for hundreds of years to solve many problems and diseases. They use the bark, the leaves and, in smaller quantities, the roots to prepare infusions and decoctions.
