Devil's Claw (Harpagophytum Procumbens) is a perennial plant with hollow, highly branched stems that can reach up to 100 cm in length, spreading over the ground. Large, tuberous forms of thickening are formed on the roots of the plant. All parts of the plant are covered with sticky pubescence. By the beginning of the rainy season, overhead shoots grow up to 1 m long, spreading over the ground. Devil's Claw blooms with single bright red, purple flowers that form in the axils of the leaves. The fruit of Devil's Claw is a small box with stiff, long, branched outgrowths that have hooks bent back, which gave name of the plant. *
Devil's claw is one of the bitterest of all herbs, making a very good digestive stimulant. English and Dutch explorers traded devil claw and sold it in Europe as a popular remedy for arthritis.
Devil's claw has been traditionally used to offer slow but sure relief of joint pain caused by both osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, and it has also been shown to relieve muscle pain and enhance mobility for people with either arthritis or muscle injuries.
Scientists don't know exactly how devil's claw works at this time, other than that it is not a COX-2 inhibitor like Celebrex or Vioxx, and therefore is not potentially injurious to the heart. Tests done in both Germany and France have shown the herb to have anti-inflammatory properties, but its effectiveness in herbal practice is disputed despite a lengthy history of use.
