Cat's claw is a tropical, woody climbing plant whose sickle-shaped, curved spines give it its name. The plant grows up to 30 meters long and climbs everything in its path. The light green, elongated leaves grow in opposite pairs. They have a smooth edge that can be rounded or tapered. The flowers are yellow, trumpet-shaped and have five petals. The spines are hack-shaped and curled like a cat's claw.


🛑 Una de Gato is contraindicated during pregnancy, breastfeeding, children under 12 years of age and if you want to become pregnant. You should also not take this plant if you have an autoimmune disease, as it can trigger an attack. It should also be avoided when taking antacids and the doctor should be consulted when taking other treatments as it may interact with drugs such as fexofenadine, which are used for allergic rhinitis. A doctor should also be consulted if taking blood thinners or other prescription medications, as interactions may occur. High doses can also cause gastrointestinal problems, so it is necessary to follow the herbalist's instructions. Possible side effects can include nausea, diarrhea and dizziness.

About 30 years ago, European and American scientists became aware of the rare creeper. The shamans use it to cure cancer.
