Catnip Herb, Cut & Sifted, Organic 1 lb
A potent, apothecary-grade herb made with 100% organic cat’s claw bark (Uncaria tomentosa), cut and sifted for whole-herb infusions, decoctions, and traditional herbal formulations. Naturally bold and woody, it brews into a deep, earthy, slightly tannic infusion with forest-root undertones, subtle bitterness, and a smooth, grounding herbal finish.
Celebrated for generations as a cornerstone herb in traditional medicine, cat’s claw bark offers whole-plant support for immune balance, inflammation comfort, and overall vitality.
🌿 Traditional medicinal usage
Cat’s claw has been used for centuries in Indigenous and global healing systems, including:
-
Amazonian & Andean traditional medicine: one of the most sacred jungle tonic herbs, traditionally brewed to support immune resilience, inflammatory conditions, joint comfort, digestive balance, and recovery from seasonal illness. Often prepared as long-simmered decoctions to draw out its strength.
-
Peruvian curanderismo (traditional healing): used in bark tonics and herbal baths for body pain, cleansing support, and strengthening vitality.
-
South American folk herbalism: consumed to support gut health, seasonal wellness, circulation, fever comfort, arthritis symptoms, and general energy restoration.
-
Western herbal adaptogenic traditions: adopted into modern apothecaries due to its long-standing traditional use for inflammation, lymphatic support, viral defense, antioxidant protection, and whole-body immune modulation.
Historically, cat’s claw bark was used in apothecaries as a multi-purpose tonic root and bark remedy, especially valued for supporting the body through environmental stress, inflammatory flare-ups, and seasonal immune challenges.
