Ancient African pain
remedy.
The root of the Devil's Claw (Harpagophytum
procumbens D.C., Pedaliaceae) found in the Kalahari Desert and Namibian Steppes
of Africa has proven its value as a natural, non-toxic therapeutic remedy for a
vast array of ailments. Traditionally, the natives have dug up the roots to make
a decoction or a poultice and used it for the treatment of not only arthritic
pains, but also for ailments of the liver, stomach, kidneys, bladder and
intestines. It was their first line of treatment.
Natural Help for Arthritis:
Arthritis is a painful and
debilitating disease that, unfortunately, will affect many of us during our
lifetime. Of those 65 and over, 45% will be stricken with the disease, with
women being affected more often than men. For those afflicted, the slightest
pressure on inflamed joints sends pain shooting through most of their bodies,
and for most, the only relief comes from a variety of anti-arthritic drugs or
over-the-counter medications. Although this approach does provide pain relief,
it does little to eliminate or alter the arthritic process. At best,
prescription drugs serve only to relieve symptoms temporarily. Prolonged use
will always damage the body's biological milieu. This knowledge and the fear of
side effects have inspired the search for safe and effective alternatives.
