(Harpagophytum procumbens)
Description
Devil’s claw has been used for centuries by Africans because of its ability to heal. Traditionally, the dried root was made into a tea used to treat indigestion, fevers, and blood disorders, while the fresh root was used for boils and skin problems.
This herb is believed to reduce pain and inflammation and is therefore recommended for arthritis.
