Devil's claw (Harpagophytum procumbens), is a plant widely used in South African traditional medicine, specially by Bushmen, Hottentots and Bantu. Extracts of Devil�s claw roots are widely used in Europe for rheumatic pain. Two of the active principles of Devil�s claw are harpagoside and harpagide. The mechanism of action of Devil�s claw is still unclear and disputed, however one study has found a correlation between serum harpagoside levels and the inhibition of leukotriene biosynthesis. The plant�s common name is attributed to its peculiar claw-like seedpods which are covered with small hook-like protuberances.
