The medicinal herb Cat's Claw as an alternative herbal remedy for viral infections - Cat's claw grows wild in many countries of Central and South America, especially in the Amazon rainforest. CAT'S CLAW is a thick, long, slow growing woody vine that grows between 400 and 800 meters above sea level in the rain forests. This vine gets its name from the small, sharp thorns, two at the base of each pair of leaves, which looks like a cat's claw. These claws enable the vine to attach itself around trees climbing to a height of 100 feet or higher. The root (which can grow to the size of a watermelon) and the inside of the bark are the parts of the plant used in alternative herbal remedies. Because demand for this herb has increased greatly in the past few years, the Peruvian government now forbids harvesting the roots of the plant. Since the same compounds are present in the bark as the root, the plant is now harvested 3 feet above the ground. This preserves the plant so that it can be harvested again a few years later.Common Names--cat's claw, uña de gato | The medicinal herb Cat's Claw as an alternative herbal remedy for viral infections - Cat's claw grows wild in many countries of Central and South America, especially in the Amazon rainforest.

*[ | *[https://www.kew.org/news/herbal-medicine-through-an-evolutionary-lens.htm Herbal medicine through an evolutionary lens]. March 5, 2013: There is often scepticism surrounding traditional herbal treatments, partly due to scarcity in large-scale evidence of efficacy of traditional medicine. A team of researchers from Kew, the University of Reading, Imperial College and RBG Edinburgh, in collaboration with colleagues from Nepal and New Zealand, have conducted a phylogenetic study that provides support for herbal remedies. | ||
:The researchers constructed a genus-level family tree representing 20,000 plant species found in three disparate regions (Nepal, New Zealand, and the Cape of South Africa), in order to compare medicinal plants used in these geographic areas. They found that plants traditionally used to treat similar health conditions came from the same plant clusters across the three floras. These shared phylogenetic patterns in traditional herbal medicine were interpreted as independent discovery of efficacy in these plant groups. This was supported by the finding that many plants used to produce drugs come from these clusters highlighted by traditional knowledge, suggesting that plant bioactivity underlies traditional medicine worldwide. | :The researchers constructed a genus-level family tree representing 20,000 plant species found in three disparate regions (Nepal, New Zealand, and the Cape of South Africa), in order to compare medicinal plants used in these geographic areas.
