Devil’s Claw Root

(Harpagophytum procumbens)

Devil’s Claw is a striking plant native to the Kalahari Desert and savanna regions of southern Africa, named for the dramatic hooked appearance of its fruit — which clings tenaciously to the fur of passing animals for seed dispersal. Harpagophytum procumbens (from the Greek harpago, meaning “grappling hook”) has been used for centuries in the traditional medicine of the San and Khoikhoi peoples of southern Africa, where the secondary tubers of the root have long been valued as a botanical remedy.

Devil’s Claw Root is one of the most well-researched herbs in European phytomedicine and is widely used by herbalists, natural health practitioners, and pet owners alike. Our Devil’s Claw Root is available in both Cut & Sifted and Powder forms.
