Cat's claw received world fame at the end of the last century, despite the fact that the grass has been successfully used for many millennia. The ancient Indians successfully used the bark of the plant to strengthen the immune system, to fight poisoning and numerous diseases. The miraculous healing properties of the liana were noticed by scientists, whose numerous studies made it possible in the 70s of the XX century to firmly substantiate healing properties Cat's claw. In 1994, WHO recognized Cat's Claw medicinal plant and is included in the official collection "International Pharmacopoeia".

Types

There are three types of tree-like Peruvian lianas, the main difference of which is in color and climatic conditions growth.

The collection period of the Cat's Claw varies and depends on the increase in activity. various properties at the time of collection.

Usage

The most valuable characteristics are the inner part of the bark and the roots of the vine. However, due to the rarity of the areola and the unique characteristics of a wild tropical plant, the roots are rarely used and are valued like elephant tusks.

Medicinal properties of active substances

Scientists have determined that high efficiency Peruvian liana bark extract in many diseases is due to pronounced antioxidant (protective), antitumor and anti-inflammatory properties of its highly active alkaloids.

A unique ensemble of alkoids act at the level of cellular immunity:

1) the alkaloid isopteropodin, due to which there is an increase in the activity of neutrophils, activation of the function of macrophages (actively capture and digest bacteria, the remains of dead cells and other particles toxic to the body) and T-killers (dissolve damaged body cells);

2) the glycoside glycyrrhizin, together with the secreted acid, helps to block the reproduction of viruses;

3) proanthocyanidins, being one of the strong antioxidants, counteract the mutagenic properties of foreign agents, providing an anti-inflammatory effect;

4) the alkaloid rinkofillin can reduce the likelihood of vascular clots and plaques in the arteries, improves blood circulation and microcirculation of the heart muscle, which in turn reduces the risk of heart attacks.

In the mix active ingredients Cat's claw plays an important role tannins (catechins, gallic and ellagic acids), which have antiseptic, anti-inflammatory and hemostatic effects.

Panacea for all diseases

This unique composition of biologically active substances has expanded the boundaries of the use of miracle liana from a means of prevention to use in complex therapy.

We especially note wide range biological activity of proanthocyanidin in the plant, namely the ability to increase the intracellular content of vitamin C, reduce capillary permeability and fragility, and the ability to bind free radicals. It is proanthocyanidins that are capable of restoring the structure of collagen, they contribute to maintaining the connective tissue matrix in excellent condition. Proanthocyanidins can increase vascular elasticity, are effective in degenerative diseases of the musculoskeletal system, help with various diseases eye, being a universal prophylactic agent for glaucoma.

Studies by well-known naturopaths Dr. R. Herbert and O. Garcia testify to the universality of the effect on the human body of the active components of Cat's Claw, which take into account individual characteristics organism. The main advantage is the absence side effects, low toxicity, high versatility medicinal herb in all types of diseases, which is explained by a synergistic interaction with vitamin C.

High antioxidant properties put Cat's Claw on a par with such well-known plants as ginseng, eleutherococcus, echinacea, ant tree.

Increasingly, there are articles about the successful treatment with the help of extracts from the bark of the Cat's Claw of such diseases as allergies, influenza, arthritis, lichen, neurodermatitis, bronchial asthma, diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, colitis, ulcers, gastritis, hemorrhoids, dysbacteriosis and many others. The main achievement of Cat's Claw preparations is the ability to act on the human immunodeficiency virus, its effectiveness in the treatment of benign and malignant neoplasms. As you can see, the herb and the properties of this plant are unique.

Functional action of the cat's claw

The most important functional effect of Cat's Claw preparations is the activation of phagocytes (immune cells), which neutralize the active action of cancer cells, stop their division and "put control" of the immune system. Cat's claw normalizes the level of immunoglobulins in the body - antibodies that neutralize the activity of foreign agents. And this means that preparations of the Cat's Claw normalize the phagocytic link of our immunity - the basis of the immune system.

Among other things, these drugs activate the production of immune mediators, which provide "communication" or information transfer between immune cells. Thus, Cat's Claw ensures the coordinated work of the immune system to protect the body. And this is a difficult job: the system "receives" a signal that a foreign element has invaded the body, it identifies it, "determines" methods for neutralizing this element, "transmits a command" to the appropriate immune cells and they do the work, after which the immune system "commands" others cells to remove the foreign agent from the body.

Cat's claw contains proanthocyanidin, which neutralizes the harmful effects of free radicals on the body, which slows down the cellular aging process.

Cat's Claw preparations, thanks to the alkaloid rincofilin (part of the liana bark), help to improve the rheological properties of blood, which prevents thrombosis. Improving the rheological properties of blood "relieves" the load from the heart muscle, which makes it easier for her to work.

Triterpenes, polyphenols and plant styrenes, which are part of the Cat's Claw, slow down or completely suppress the division of cancer cells, as well as inhibit inflammation.

Glycyretinic acid and glycosidic glycyrrhizin as part of this vine stop the division of viruses in cells by destroying their genetic material.

Facts about Cat Root

In the mid-80s of the last century in Peru, for four years, studies were carried out on the effects of Cat's Claw on the human body in the complex therapy of various oncological diseases. Investigations took place 700 patients. The successful results of this work were presented at an international congress in Lima in 1988.

Scientists at Mlan University found that Cat's Claw inhibits the human immunodeficiency virus. These studies were carried out on seven volunteers. The five who took the preparations containing Cat's Claw saw noticeable improvements. Moreover, in initial stage manifestations of this pathology disappeared. These studies were carried out in 1992, and in currently the condition of these patients is stable.

Medicinal properties of cat's claw

In the jungles of the Amazon Basin, trees are entwined with a lignified tropical liana, the leaves of which are equipped with two curved spikes at the base, resembling cat claws. herbal preparation, obtained from the inner bark of the roots of this plant, is known as "cat's claw", or "una de gato" (its Spanish name). Although dozens of related species are known, only two species, Uncaria tomentosa and U. guianensis, are collected from the wild (primarily in Peru and Brazil) for use in medical purposes. Large pieces of the bark of these plants are a common commodity in South American markets; local Indians have long made tea from this bark and used it to heal wounds, gastric diseases, arthritis, cancer and other diseases.

The mechanism of action of the plant

Modern research has found several active ingredients in it that can increase the activity of the immune system and suppress inflammation. Their presence may explain why this plant has traditionally been used to fight cancer, arthritis, dysentery, ulcers, and other infections and inflammations.

Traditionally, this plant has been used to combat pain. Due to its anti-inflammatory action, it can relieve joint pain in arthritis or gout. However, more research is needed to determine true role played by the claw in the treatment of arthritis and other inflammatory conditions. Some preliminary evidence suggests that cat's claw, when combined with conventional AIDS drugs, may help HIV-infected people by simulating an immune response. Further research is needed in this direction.

Some experts warn against taking this plant when chronic diseases affecting the immune system, including tuberculosis, multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis. They believe that the plant can overstimulate the immune system and worsen symptoms. Other doctors recommend taking the drug for autoimmune diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis and lupus. Further research is required.

Impact on the human body

In Germany and Austria, doctors prescribe a drug to stimulate immune responses in cancer patients, many of whom are weakened by chemotherapy, radiation, and others. conventional methods cancer treatment. Several compounds present in cat's claw may account for the anti-cancer and immune-boosting effects of this plant. In the 1970s, researchers reported that the inner bark and roots contained compounds called procyanidol oligomers that inhibited the development of tumors in animals. In the 1980s, German researchers identified other compounds in cat's claw that increase the activity of the immune system, in part by stimulating the phagocytic cells responsible for it. These cells ingest and digest viruses, bacteria, and other pathogens.

Then in 1993 in Italy it was discovered new class compounds-glycosides of quinovic acid, which have many useful properties. These glycosides can act as an antioxidant, protecting the body from cell-damaging free radicals. In addition to its antitumor effect, it can help with long-term infections, such as sinusitis.

Indications for use of Cat's Claw

But only we do not always know about them or, having been taught by pragmatic times, we are in no hurry to believe in them. For example, a plant such as a cat's claw grows on the ground. There are many legends about him. An ancient Peruvian legend says that jaguars, the strongest and fastest representatives of the cat family, feed on the juice of this plant. The alkaloids rhynchophyllin, iso- and mitraphyllin, pteropodin and isopteropodin are responsible for the medicinal properties of the Cat's Claw. Isopteropodin (isomer A) activates the functions of T-lymphocytes, macrophages, normalizes the level of immunoglobulins. Rinkofelin - an alkaloid that improves the rheological properties of blood, reduces the likelihood of thrombosis in the vascular bed, preventing platelet aggregation. Polyphenols, terpenes, and plant sterols determine the anti-inflammatory and cytostatic properties of the drug. Sligozidny glycyrrhizin and glycyretinic acid are able to restrain the reproduction of viruses in cells. Proanthocyanidin, which is also part of the plant bark, blocks free radical processes in the body. Working at the level of cellular immunity, this plant has the strongest immunomodulatory properties, and also has antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal effects.

In terms of medicinal properties, Cat's Claw has surpassed well-known plants that have long been used in medicine - such as ginseng, echinacea, ant tree, astragalus, as well as famous mushrooms (reishi, shiitake and maitake).

The flowers at the cat's claw are white or yellowish, grow in pairs on opposite sides of the stem, and are easily pollinated. Short curly shoots on the surface of the vine gradually harden and turn into hooks. Sharp, curved claws protect the vine from enemies.

But sometimes people get hooked on these claws through negligence or ignorance. Peruvians say that the spectacle in this case is frightening - horror films have a rest.

The members of the expedition heard a lot of interesting, simply incredible things about this plant from local residents.

This fact was of great interest to a number of US laboratories and medical centers Western Europe - the University of Innsbruck (Austria), the University of Munich (Germany), the Hintinton Research Center, the University of Milan (Italy), the University of Naples (Italy). In the 70s, studies were carried out that surprised and delighted scientists. It turned out that the cat root really has the strongest antioxidant, antitumor and anti-inflammatory effect, removes decay products and heavy metals from the body, significantly improves immunity, improves the functioning of the heart and gastrointestinal tract.

Cat's claw has been recognized by independent studies as one of the most powerful immune-modulating herbs in the world. In 1989-90, the Australian scientist Dr. Keplinger received a patent for the groups of oxyindole alkaloids he discovered and isolated, which formed the active principle of preparations from this plant.

Preparations from the cat's claw help to deal with everyday troubles such as scratches, wounds, sexual weakness, bad mood. The use of preparations from the cat's claw is effective as an antitumor agent that has the ability to stop the growth of malignant neoplasm cells.

Uncaria pubescent (Uncaria tomentosa), (Cat's Claw - cat's claw) is a tree-like liana of the Rubiaceae family, growing in the tropical forests of South and Central America, along the banks and in the foothills of the Amazon in Peru.

The plant got its name for the sharp curved spikes that help it curl around trees and resemble a clawed cat's paw in appearance.

Asthenia cat's claw grows in the only place on earth - in South America, in dense, humid Peruvian forests along the Amazon River and is a woody vine with sharp "claws" with which it clings to neighboring plants. Creepers can grow up to 40 meters and live up to 30 years. The inhabitants of that area widely used decoctions from the bark, roots and leaves, ointments and other medicines to strengthen the body (i.e., to strengthen immunity), for poisoning (and therefore to cleanse the body) and inflammatory processes(in other words, in the fight against disease).

Uncaria Tomentosa was first described in the 18th century, and the first studies were carried out in 1952 in France. No important discoveries were made, but in 1974 the cat's claw plant was rediscovered by an Austrian scientist (Klaus Kleppinger) while researching the life of the Peruvian Indians. He was struck by powerful medicinal properties creepers, the oncoprotective effect of the cat's claw was especially important then (it was noted that the Indians did not get sick cancer). Soon, in various European laboratories in Germany, Great Britain, Austria, Italy, research on the plant continued and real scientific discoveries. After the discovery of quinine (a natural cure for yellow fever and malaria) in the 17th century, the discovery of the cat's claw was the second significant event in phytotherapy.

It turned out that the cat's claw plant is superior in its properties to the well-known echinacea, ginseng, mushrooms (shiitake, maitake and reishi), astragalus, ant tree and can be used for neurodermatitis, duodenal ulcer and stomach ulcers, allergies, inflammation of the joints, genital herpes, shingles and other diseases. And in 1988, at the international congress, a report was read on the successful use of the cat's claw plant in the treatment of oncology in 700 patients for 4 years.

The scientific world was also amazed by the fact that due to its strong antioxidant properties, this plant can act on the immunodeficiency virus that causes AIDS, especially when used on early stages diseases. The famous Dr. Brent W. Davis praised the properties of the cat's claw plant: "Uncaria Tomentosa is a world-class plant that has the ability to stop and reverse the development of deep-rooted pathologies, leading to a rapid return to health."

It has been established that the preparations of this amazing vine are able to activate the cells of our immune system responsible for the destruction of tumor cells (malignant and benign), improve the condition of the blood (including reducing the risk of thrombosis) and even block the reproduction of viruses in our cells and stop the chain reaction of formation free radicals without causing addiction or side effects.

It contains a huge amount of biologically active and anti-inflammatory substances, as well as antioxidants. Being a plant immunomodulator, cat's claw prevents the formation of blood clots and the reproduction of viruses in cells.

Perennial Peruvian climbing liana - Uncaria tomentosa - also called "Cat's claw", in wild nature clings to tree trunks with special spikes resembling cat claws. The homeland and the only place where this plant grows is the Amazonian forests of the Peruvian Highlands. It lives no more than 30 years, and during this period of time it can grow up to 40 meters in length.

The Indians have long used Cat's Claw to make an invigorating tea, as well as an antidote and a remedy for a wide variety of infections. Some believe that due to the centuries-old use of this plant, the natives of Peru are practically unfamiliar with such a terrible disease as cancer.

In addition, Uncaria tomentosa is part of many drugs, including the Coral Club product, which help with:

Violations of metabolic processes;

Diseases of the gastrointestinal tract;

Problems with the genitourinary system;

The medical qualities of Cat's Claw are based on the substances of oxyindole alkaloids, namely pteropodin and isopteropodin. It is they that stimulate the activity of the human immune system, allowing the plant to be one of the most powerful natural immunomodulators.

With the use of substances contained in the Peruvian liana, preparations are made that normalize the level of immunoglobulins in the blood and prevent thrombosis.

Cat's Claw contains polyphenols, triterpenes and plant styrenes, which have a cytostatic and anti-inflammatory effect. In addition, the plant has a large number of glycosides, as well as glycyrrhizin and glycerietic acid, which do not allow viruses to multiply in the cells of the human body.

Tannins - kahetins, gallic and ellagic acids contained in Uncaria tomentosa, have an antiseptic, hemostatic, anti-inflammatory and astringent effect. And the flavonoid proanthocyanidin, also present in this vine, gives a diuretic, hypothetical and choleretic effect.

Due to its composition, Cat's Claw has not only antiseptic, immunomodulatory and detoxifying properties, but also general strengthening and adaptogenic properties.
