Possible Benefits of Using Cat's Claw Tea and Extract; An
Update on Traditional Use and Results Reported by Americans
By Phillip N. Steinberg, Certified Nutritional Consultant
After working with cat's claw for almost five years, I have continually
been amazed at the glowing reports of how the herb seems to help
alleviate the symptoms of many of the health problems that plague
modern man, especially those related to environmental causes.
Following is a summary of how the herb is typically used by native
Peruvians, followed by results that have been reported by both
health practitioners and individuals, who are using or have used
this remarkable botanical here in the United States.
Typically, the indigenous people of Peru will boil 20-30 grams
of inner stalk bark and/ or root in a liter of water for 30-60
minutes to prepare a tea. This amount will then be consumed throughout
the day for several days to several months, depending on the seriousness
of the illness. Traditionally, cat's claw tea has been used to
treat the following diseases: tumors and other growths, ulcers,
gastritis, arthritis, rheumatism, menstrual disorders, prostate
problems, asthma, diabetes, viral infections, acne, general debility,
gonorrhea and cirrhosis. There is also some evidence that women
in certain Indian tribes will drink cat's claw tea to prevent
pregnancy.
In addition to the above, health practitioners in America have
reported successes using the herb to treat Crohn's disease, colitis,
hemorrhoids, diverticulosis, other inflammatory bowel conditions
and dysbiosis, fistulas, bursitis, gout and fibromyalgia, hay
fever and other allergies, chemical toxin exposure and environmental
sensitivities, chronic fatigue, circulatory problems, shingles
and canker sores, candidiasis, parasites, multiple sclerosis,
iritis, secondary infections in AIDS patients and to reduce the
side affects of radiation and chemotherapy, when used in conjunction
with these conventional therapies.
Individuals in the U.S. have also reported an elimination or
reduction in symptoms associated with varicose veins, TMJ, general
pain, stress and depression, backaches and sore muscles, hypoglycemia,
warts, psoriasis, high blood pressure and elevated cholesterol,
lupus, vision problems, tendinitis, uveitis, enlarged prostate,
throat, sinus and ear infections, PMS and more. Cat's claw tea
has been used as an eye rinse to clear up eye infections and powdered
herb has been used between toes to clear up athletes foot.
Though 20-30 grams is what is traditionally used in Peru, Americans
will find that brewing 10 grams per liter will be sufficient to
alleviate many of the less serious health problems mentioned above
and that for many, drinking 2-3 cups per day will be enough to
obtain satisfactory results. When using a powdered extract, 1
to 3 (500mg capsules) 3 to 4 times daily (1500-6000 mg.) will
often be sufficient to alleviate many of the health problems mentioned
above.
In addition, some natural substances that may work synergistically
with cat's claw include: MSM (methylsulfonylmethane), whole leaf aloe
vera, Essiac Plus) and medicinal mushroom
extracts such as; Coriolus Versicolor
(PSK). Cat's claw also can be combined with other South American
botanicals such as pau d' arco, suma, maca, jatoba, chanca piedra,
muira puama and stevia.
