Cat’s Claw: The Rainforest Herb with Big Health Benefits

You know those boring Sunday afternoons when nothing seems to happen, no one calls to ask you to hang out, not even the doorbell rings? Well, I had one of those, just last week. What options did I have than turn on the TV? Let’s be clear about this: I’m not a big fan of TV, and mine is mostly for décor.

Well, I took the remote and started to swipe through different TV channels. But eventually I fell asleep. That’s how boring all the stuff was. I think an hour passed until I heard an annoying promo song that announced the start of a show.

As I was struggling to open my eyes, between my semi-open eyelids I could see a middle-aged man who started talking about how we can find our cure in nature, for any kind of ailment, without spending thousands of dollars on expensive drugs. I thought… Hmm, this is interesting! This guy must be pretty brave to talk about this on TV, and basically defy all predefined concepts that imply going to the doctor’s office for a diagnosis and follow a medical treatment.

And can you guess what was the topic of which he was talking about? He was debating the harmful effects of a fungal infection and how can someone get rid of it naturally.

I was thinking that I must have been attracting this kind of information, since I started hearing it even on TV.

Anyway, he mentioned a couple of natural ingredients, the same that I’m going to give you details about in the following lines.

The following four natural ingredients have been carefully selected and researched so they could provide our 100% natural remedy the qualities it needed.

Firstly, let’s start with Cat’s claw, which is a remarkable plant brought from the Amazon Forest. After years of research, this miracle of the tropical forest has convinced the medical world of its formidable healing power.

There is proof that shows the fact that cat’s claw can be successfully used in the treatment of many affections such as:

  • Tumors
  • Arthritis
  • Stomach
  • Asthma
  • Fever
  • Allergies
  • Ulcerations
  • Diabetes
  • Multiple viral and bacterial infections
  • And much more

Cat’s claw is one of the most powerful herbal remedies with immune action. Its active components are a group of alkaloids that:

  • stimulate the immune system
  • favor phagocytosis (the ability of white blood cells to destroy and eliminate microorganisms and foreign substances)
  • activate the function of cytokines (immunity mediators)
  • reactivate the functions of T lymphocytes
  • normalize the level of white blood cells, platelets, and immunoglobins in the blood

Maybe you’ll think that the ingredient I’m going to share with you is not supposed to occupy room in this list, but you’re wrong. Garlic is themost powerful natural antibiotic known as pure food. In the presence of its juice, germs of colds, flu, and viruses have minimal chances of survival. It combats infections, releases sinuses, bronchi, and lungs. One milligram of garlic has the same power as twenty-five units of penicillin.

Garlic is a natural antibiotic and the best part about it is that it doesn’t destroy healthy bacteria. It has no side effects as it has strong antibacterial and antimicrobial properties.

Moving on to our next ingredient, I must tell you that it grows throughout Korea and China. It is called Korean ginseng, also known as Panax ginseng or Asian ginseng. In the traditional Chinese medicine, it is believed that red panax stimulates the yang energy, which improves circulation, increases blood flow, revitalizes the body and helps it recover after a disease.

In Asia, red panax is administered regularly to increase vitality and vigor, improve work efficiency, combat fatigue, strengthen the immune system, and increase libido.

A ginseng substance called saponin contains antioxidants that help slow down the aging process and strengthen the immune system.

In order to repair and reverse the damage done to your body, by the infection, Lycopene is here to complete the list. It is a carotenoid that is naturally found in many fruits and vegetables. In the human body, lycopene can be found in large amounts in the blood, liver, skin, prostate, colon, and lungs.

Numerous research has shown that this compound is a good antioxidant that also has antiproliferative properties (it inhibits the growth of cancer cells).

Lycopene is a substance that can act on free radicals differently from other antioxidants and thus is very effective in neutralizing them. It is also an antioxidant that protects the cell integrity and the immune system from the toxins accumulated in the body. It has an essential role in preventing and treating many diseases, including fungal infections.

It seems that falling asleep in front of the TV, and waking up to an interesting show, does make up the “effort” of sometimes turning it on, doesn’t it?
