Uña de Gato: Clawing Your Way to Health


Uña de gato is Spanish for “cat’s claw.” Uña de gato is an herb that comes from a thorny vine in Peru that has thorns that are curved and resemble a cat’s claw—hence its name.
Uña de gato is used by many for the pain associated with fibromyalgia. Its properties also serve to support the immune system, aid the digestive system, and feed the structural system—all of which seem to be affected by fibromyalgia. Personally, I use uña de gato combined with astragalus and echinacea for any type of inflammation. I am amazed that it works as instantly as an aspirin (within 20 minutes), and it also relieves pain and reduces inflammation. Take two or more capsules three times per day or as needed to ease your symptoms. Some relief should be felt within 20 minutes or so, if not, increase your dose.
