History of Devil's Claw

The herb Devil’s Claw (Harpagophytum Procumbens), also known as grapple plant or wood spider, belongs to the sesame family Pedaliaceae. Its name refers to the hooks on the fruits of the plant. Devil’s Claw uses these hooks to grapple onto animals, who will then spread its seeds.

Devil’s Claw is found in the Kalahari desert in South Africa and on the steppes of Southeasern Namibia. For this reason, the herb is sometimes referred to as ‘Root of the Windhoek’, after this country’s capital city.

In the traditional healing arts of the San and the Khoikhoi (the indigenous peoples of Southern Africa), Devil’s Claw has been used for centuries to treat a large variety of ailments, from kidney problems and headaches to common cold and rheumatism.

In the early 20th century, German colonists took Devil’s Claw to Europe, where it quickly gained popularity as a medicine to treat arthritis. Meanwhile, Devil’s Claw has become a popular herb in phytotherapy, a type of medical therapy concerned with the medicinal uses of unprocessed plants.
