Introduction

Cat's claw, also knows as "una de gato," is a woody vine that reaches up to 100 feet in length. The name describes a claw-like thorn that sits at the base of the leaves on the stem of the plant. It grows wild in the western to central part of South America, yet most of the commercially available plant parts come from Peru. The vine, or liana, has long, oval leaves with softly pointed tips. The leaves are arranged in sets of two along the stem. Traditionally the root and the bark were used as remedies, but to guarantee sustainability it is mostly the bark that can be used for commercial purposes today.
