Devil's Claw
Devil’s claw is traditionally used in Western herbal medicine to ease rheumatism, arthritis & gout.
One of the strongest herbs I've tried for back pain, not a nice tasting tea but the benefits are so worth it. I make a strong small tea, allow to cool then shot. Best way to get it down quickly. I still highly recommend, minimum side effects and better than anything you'd find in a chemist.
Great feedback and suggestions. Thanks for the review and sharing the knowledge, Laura
Well it is well named that's for sure, l have this as a tea twice a day in a cup after letting it sit in teapot for 2 - 5 mins and believe me the taste is like the name says devils claw, it hasn't got an enjoyable taste but with a dash of honey l get through, still suffer a little pain in hands but not as much as l did before having this. But it has only been 2 weeks so l'm feeling positive that even though the taste without honey is disgusting, it does help ease the osteoarthritis in my knee, ankle and fingers. The wrists well they still get pain especially when the rain wont go away, and the cold mornings. But l am grateful as l can now get up out of bed without falling as the knees used to give me pain that l would fall flat on face. Will let you know how it goes after 3 months. Value for money and well spent, great packaging too keeps it all in.
