Una De Gato Extract (a/k/a Cats Claw) Uncaria tomentosa 1 fl.oz. liquid by Energique.
Traditionally used from the rainforests that is becoming widely recognized as a superior immune stimulant with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory qualities, and that's just the beginning. It is said to be a "life-giving" tonic that cleanses the intestinal tract, supports healthy blood pressure levels.
The indigenous people of Peru use Cat’s Claw stems as a treatment for cancer, diabetes, ulcers, arthritis, infections, and as an aid in recovery from childbirth. It is also used as a contraceptive. Samento is the rare form of Cat's Claw; only it is different in that it is 1000 times stronger in strengthening the immune system. In Europe and Peru, Cat’s Claw is used as a treatment for viral diseases such as herpes, shingles and feline leukemia virus. In the 90’s it was discovered to be a possible treatment for AIDS and HIV infection. At this time, studies are in progress for its use in treat allergies, stomach ulcers, rheumatoid arthritis, and osteoarthritis. The watery extract of the young shoots is used to dilate peripheral blood vessels and lower blood pressure. It acts as a sedative as well. The Peruvian Indians use Cat’s Claw to treat cancer; however, there have been no studies to confirm its effectiveness. Samento has anti-tumor, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that are effective in the treating of immune system related conditions and intestinal disorders.
Cat's claw's anti-inflammatory actions have been effective in relieving the stiffness and swelling prevalent in arthritis, rheumatism, and joint pain. An Austrian study published in 2002 found that Cat's Claw significantly reduced joint tenderness and swelling in a sample of 40 patients with rheumatoid arthritis, with only minor side effects and no interactions with the patients' other arthritis medications. A recent study done in Peru indicates that the anti-inflammatory effects of cat's claw are stronger in extracts made with alcohol than in water-based solutions.
