This tincture of Devil's Claw (Harpagophytum procumbens) root, is made using dried root.

The genus name Harpagophytum is Greek for "grapple plant." The species name, procumbens, is Latin for "lying down" or "prostrate." The common name devil's claw refers to the hooklike seed capsules.          

Native to the sandy soils of the Kalahari Desert and Nubian steppes of Africa, devil's claw is a prostrate evergreen perennial. Its gray-green leaves are opposite and irregularly divided into several lobes. The trumpet-shaped flowers have reddish orange or red to purple petals with yellow, white, or purple centers. The flowers bloom for only three or four days. The plant bears sharp, hooklike seeds that look like claws and cling to passersby.

SUGGESTED USE:
60 drops, 2-3 times per day in juice or water.

OTHER INGREDIENTS:
Certified Organic Gluten Free cane alcohol, USP pharmaceutical grade glycerin, ultrafiltered water.

CONCENTRATION:
1:2, 60% Alcohol

CONTRAINDICATIONS:
There are no known harmful side effects from longterm use of devil's claw, though there have been some reports of allergic reactions to the plant. It may take a couple of weeks to notice results. Use devil's claw in combination with demulcent herbs to avoid irritating the digestive tract, and avoid it during pregnancy.

HOW TO MEASURE OUR TINCTURES: 

Suggested doses are given in drops. However, for easy dosing, you may want to use the guidelines below:

Droppers: If a dropper were immersed in a tincture bottle and the bulb squeezed twice, the number of drops in the pipette for most given tinctures will be approximately 30 drops.

Note: These are only averages. More viscous (thicker) tinctures will produce fewer, and bigger, drops.

Teaspoons: There are approximately 120 drops in 1 teaspoon (approximately 4 droppersful).
