Devil’s Claw is thought to have anti-inflammatory qualities,
because of that people use it for treating muscle pain, back pain, arthritis,
hardening of the arteries and other disorders where inflammation could be a
cause of the person’s disorder. Unfortunately,
it may not be everything that it is cracked up to be and while some detox
formulas employ it, for Herbal Clean,
it is a problem ingredient.
Blood Pressure
Devil’s Claw is said to affect a person’s
heart rate and thus could interfere and affect a person’s blood pressure. As such, those with heart or circulatory
system problems should speak to their doctor before taking it.
Blood
Sugar
It is also believed that Devil’s Claw could have an effect on a person’s
blood sugar and might lower their blood sugar.
So people who have diabetes should probably avoid using devil’s claw or
at least consult their physician prior to taking the herb since taking devil’s
claw along with their diabetes medication might lower their blood sugar to an
unsafe level.
Risk of
Bleeding
The anti-inflammatory qualities in Devil’s Claw may increase the risk of
bleeding for people who take blood thinners such as Coumadin. Because of this, people who use blood
thinners should probably avoid using this herb.
Might be Harmful to
People with Gallstones
It is also believed that Devil’s Claw could possibly increase the
creation of bile in the liver and since this could be serious issue to those
who have gallstones.
Stomach Ulcers
One last potential issue with taking Devil’s Claw is that the herb is
thought to increase stomach acids. If
this is true then people with stomach ulcers should avoid using this herb since
it might irritate an ulcer.
It is important for you to know the potential side effects of herbs in your detox products. Herbal Clean does not use Devil’s Claw in their formulas due to its multiple potentially harmful side effects. For more information on the herbs included in Herbal Clean detox products, visit our website.
