Cat's Claw
The Peruvian 'wonder plant' making waves worldwide
For centuries Peruvians have used the bark of a tree known as ‘cats claw’ to treat everything from arthritis to cancer. It’s become so popular it’s now a booming business.
Scientists in Lima have been putting this intriguing plant under scrutiny. They have found it seems to be an effective painkiller, and is also useful in the treatment of arthritis. This is good news for local farmers in central Peru who hope to capitalise on the global demand for this remedy.
