Devil’s Claw may have the Healing Touch

by Lawrence La Raia
Posted on Feb 06, 2007

This herb is not endorsed by Satan, in case you were wondering. The name may not be pretty, but that may not matter much. I'm sure there are a few back pain sufferers that would consider selling their soul for some relief.

The Devil's Claw plant is found in Southern Africa, and because of its anti-inflammatory properties, in health food stores. Natives have used the the herb for years to treat arthritis, and to relieve back pain. Advocates have also used Devil's claw to treat digestive problems, fever , and skin problems.

Hang on to your soul. Help may be in the next aisle.
