When we have physical suffering, we must always lead back to the medical consultation, or at least the trusted pharmacist. Let’s remember not to act on our own to avoid the risk of worsening the situation. In fact, taking drugs, without knowing the possible side effects, can even worsen the situation. But also pay attention to natural remedies, because not everyone can boast the same physical integrity and the same response to treatment. Never take this natural pain reliever if we suffer from stomach pain, otherwise the situation will complicate. We are talking about the devil’s claw, a natural remedy widely used, but which can have important contraindications. We see them in this article, together with our Experts.
What is the devil’s claw
The devil’s claw is a so-called perennial plant, appreciated and used for centuries for its anti-inflammatory properties. Very popular in sports, both professional and amateur. It was born on the African continent, where for centuries, before the arrival of traditional medicine, it represented a fundamental cure.
Its uses
Together with arnica, devil’s claw is recommended above all for traumas, bruises, rheumatic pains and inflammations, which do not arise from fractures. Widely used in classic cases of back pain, migraine, cervical and lumbar pain. We usually take this plant by means of ointment or tablets, but the variant in infusion or mother tincture is also valid.
But beware of contraindications
Never take this natural pain reliever if we suffer from stomach pain, as devil’s claw stimulates gastric production. Here, therefore, that those suffering from gastritis, colitis or ulcer, must stay particularly away from it. Not only that, because, as specialists know, this plant can create contractions of the uterus in pregnant women and go in contrast with anticoagulant drugs. We therefore remind you not to underestimate the side effects of the devil’s claw, but to always and only buy it on prescription.
