Devil’s Claw

Harpagophytum procumbens plant roots have long been used by San Bushmen of Africa as herbal medicine to relieve muscle and joint discomfort. Most commonly it’s taken in form of tea or tincture (liquid form with added alcohol) over an eight week period for optimal results.

Studies have demonstrated the anti-inflammatory and pain reducing properties of devil’s claw extract, making it effective at managing osteoarthritis pain. One such study involving 122 participants with knee and hip osteoarthritis concluded that taking devil’s claw daily was equally as effective at relieving discomfort than an established European medicine.

Devil’s claw contains iridoid glycosides which may account for its anti-inflammatory benefits. According to research, these substances appear to block an enzyme responsible for inflammation while simultaneously blocking activity from other proinflammatory molecules in your body such as cytokines and prostaglandins – with one substance in particular known for improving animal and test tube studies by alleviating responses associated with inflammation: Harpagoside has proven particularly successful at helping improve responses during studies involving animals or test tubes.

White willow trees (Salix alba) contain salicin, an ingredient whose benefits include pain-relief and fever-reducing effects. Your body converts salicin into something similar to aspirin in terms of pain-relieving properties and fever reduction properties.

Willow bark has long been used to alleviate backaches, headaches, gout pains, menstrual cramps and other forms of discomfort. Additionally, it works to reduce fever by inhibiting production of prostaglandins that contribute to inflammation and pain.

Two RCTs have found that willow bark may help relieve symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis; however, the results were inconclusive and more research is required. Willow bark should not be used if you have liver or kidney issues, diabetes, are taking anticoagulants such as acetazolamide or medications which impact blood clotting; additionally it could interact with some medications including NSAIDs and painkillers; before trying it it must be labeled safe to take and contain no salicylates which could trigger an adverse reaction or allergic reaction;
