Description
About the Plant:
Harpagophytum procumbens, commonly known as devil’s claw, is a plant native to the Kalahari savanna of southern Africa, Madagascar and the Namibian steppes. Its unusual name comes from the small hooks that cover the fruit of the plant, allowing it to catch on animal fur and spread its seeds.
Devil’s claw has been used in African and European traditional herbal medicine for centuries and is rich in iridoid glucosides, bioflavonoids and antioxidants. It has traditionally been associated with supporting healthy joints, healthy digestion and to reduce inflammation.
Devils claw root pieces are the dried tubers cut into small pieces, making it easier for small animals to chew on. Often they will chew on the root to release the therapeutic properties and then spit it out. They may also choose to ingest it.
