Counter pain, swelling, and all-over inflammation with Devil’s Claw. Rooted in the arid regions of southern Africa – particularly Namibia, Botswana, and the Kalahari – Devil’s Claw has long been essential to the health of the Khoisan and other Indigenous peoples. Traditionally prepared as a tea, it was used to soothe joint pain, ease inflammation, support digestion and appetite, and was considered a “blood cleanser” in tonics.
♡ Why we love it: While Devil’s Claw contains a variety of active compounds, its best-known is harpagoside. This iridoid glycoside works by reducing inflammation in the body and blocking the production of inflammatory compounds – especially those linked with pain and swelling. It’s why modern science has researched Devil’s Claw extensively for osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, where it has shown benefits in easing joint pain and stiffness, improving mobility, reducing lower back pain and may even support conditions like fibromyalgia and tendonitis. Harpagoside works in synergy with the other compounds present in Devils Claw like procumbide, harpagide, and other related glycosides, which enhance the plant’s overall anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving effects. Together, these compounds not only support joint health but also boost vitality, appetite, digestion, and liver and gallbladder function.
When it comes to skincare, Devil’s Claw is rich in phenols and flavonoids, giving it antioxidant and anti-inflammatory powers that help calm redness and irritation. In topical form – creams, gels, and balms – its actives penetrate the skin to bring targeted relief to sore muscles, stiff joints, and inflamed areas.
