ORIGIN OF CAT'S CLAW

Cat’s Claw (Uncaria tomentosa W.) is a kind of vine that is approximately thirty meters long and grows well between six hundred and a thousand meters above sea level. (Amazon jungle). The bark is carefully removed from the cut stems above a meter from the ground, so that the plant can regenerate.

The Una de Gato is one of the most important Peruvian medicinal plants. In the 1st International Congress on this species sponsored by the World Health Organization (WHO), the rediscovery of this Amazonian plant was cataloged as the most important since the discovery of quinine from the Peruvian cinchona tree in the 17th century.Although cat’s claw was known and used by the Yáneshas and Asháninkas of the central jungle of Peru for the cure of common diseases, it is known that its use as a medicinal plant outside the indigenous sphere is recent, dating back only thirty or forty years.

The history of its scientific discovery dates back to 1830, the year in which it was first described as a botanical species. But it was only in the fifties when the German naturalist Arturo Brell carried out the first systematic studies of the species from plants collected in the central Peruvian jungle. The scientific discovery of cat’s claw as a medicinal plant and its subsequent spread throughout the world as a “healing plant”
