The root of the Devil's Claw (Harpagophytum procumbens D.C., Pedaliaceae) found in the Kalahari Desert and Namibian Steppes of Africa has proven its value as a natural, non-toxic therapeutic remedy for a vast array of ailments. Traditionally, the natives have dug up the roots to make a decoction or a poultice and used it for the treatment of not only arthritic pains, but also for ailments of the liver, stomach, kidneys, bladder and intestines. It was their first line of treatment.
Natural Help for Arthritis:
Arthritis is a painful and debilitating disease that, unfortunately, will affect many of us during our lifetime. Of those 65 and over, 45% will be stricken with the disease, with women being affected more often than men. For those afflicted, the slightest pressure on inflamed joints sends pain shooting through most of their bodies, and for most, the only relief comes from a variety of anti-arthritic drugs or over-the-counter medications. Although this approach does provide pain relief, it does little to eliminate or alter the arthritic process. At best, prescription drugs serve only to relieve symptoms temporarily. Prolonged use will always damage the body's biological milieu. This knowledge and the fear of side effects have inspired the search for safe and effective alternatives.
