Cleaning
agents such as chlorine bleach, petroleum, kerosene are not used to
sanitize the mold and fungus from the plants. The part of cat’s claw
that’s used for medicinal purposes is the inner bark. From the
dried inner bark, teas and infusions can be created. Cat's Claw (Uncaria tomentosa) grows in
the Peruvian Amazon where it has been used for
centuries by the Native Peruvians. Recent research has
discovered that its inner bark contains unique active,
alkaloid constituents that help support the body's
immune system. Now used worldwide as a nutritional
supplement, Cat's Claw is obtained without needless
destruction of the plant, thereby protecting the
delicate Amazon ecosystem. This herb is
mentioned in Healing Lyme Disease (Protocol Herbs)

Introduction to Cat's Claw
Cat's Claw is indigenous to many of the Central and South American countries, where it grows wild particularly in Peru and other areas of the Amazon. The part of the plant which is used for medicinal purposes is the inner bark. This has been used for centuries, since the ancient Inca civilizations in fact.
Cat's Claw is mentioned in the Healing Lyme book by S.
Buhner, as one of the herbs which may help Lyme disease
A study by the National Institute of Aging has found that there is a very real possibility that Cat's Claw also has an effect on the brain, which points to potential new avenues of research for the treatment of Alzheimer's.
How Cat's Claw Is Used
Liquid extracts, capsules and powders are made from the inner bark of Cat's Claw. It can be taken therefore in capsule form, or infused as teas. Preparations made from Cat's Claw can also be applied topically to the skin, to promote the healing of wounds.
Possible Side Effects of Cat's Claw
When taken in recommended doses there are few causes for concern about side effects, although the possibilities include dizziness, vomiting and headaches. There are, however, some cases where Cat's Claw must not be taken:
* Women who are pregnant, trying to become pregnant or nursing infants should not take Cat's Claw. It is used to prevent and abort pregnancies!
* Cat's Claw stimulates the immune system, therefore anyone who has a condition which affects the immune system should avoid Cat's Claw.
* Cat's Claw should be avoided in the two weeks both before and after a surgical procedure, or by anyone suffering from a bleeding disorder.
* There is also the possibility that Cat's Claw may interact with other medications, so if you are already taking oral contraceptives, antifungal medication like ketoconazole, allergy medications such as fexofenadine, cholesterol medications such as lovastatin or certain cancer medications, you should avoid Cat's Claw.
*Cat's claw should not be used by individuals with
skin grafts or tuberculosis or by those receiving organ transplants.
In fact, the best piece of advice, as always, is to check with your medical professional before taking Cat's Claw.
