cat's claw bark
Cat’s claw is a woody vine that grows in the canopy of the Amazonian rainforest. It is harvested for its inner bark, although sometimes the roots are also collected for processing. The herb is also known as sparrowhawk nail and hawk's claw, which reference the plant’s claw-like thorns.
In Peru, cat’s claw has been used for thousands of years by the Asháninka tribe, from whom much of the world's supply is garnered today. In traditional systems of healing, the herb is used to counter a variety of inflammatory disorders. Today, several trademarked supplement products include extracts of cat’s claw.
Background: Originally found in Peru, use of Cat's claw dates back to the Inca civilization more than 2,000 years. The Ashaninka priests of Peru utilize cat's claw ceremonially to align the physical body with the etheric body. The inner bark of Cat's claw is used to make liquid extracts and teas.
