Devil's Claw is a dried root named after the tiny hooks that cover its fruit. Originally from Africa, this root has been used for centuries to help alleviate many ailments due to its active ingredient harpogoside. This compound is a potent anti-inflammatory and works in the same pain pathways in the body as conventional NSAIDs. It is an active area of study, as promising results are leading to physicians in Germany and France recommending it to patients for arthritis and back pain.
