Devil's Claw is a useful natural herbal equine anti-inflammatory and analgesic for providing pain relief to horses and ponies and reducing inflammation in equine joints.
It been proven to be an effective replacement for phenylbutazone ('bute') and cortisone - with the added benefit of not having the side effects of these equine medicines.
The name Devil's Claw refers to the hooked, claw-like seedpods of the shrub (Harpagophytum procumbens) from whose roots it is extracted.
Devil's Claw is recommended for horses and ponies that suffer from joint and muscular problems and is also used as a treatment to aid the healing of equine degenerative bone disease.
Equine joints take a lot of wear, tear and stress and sometimes need extra help. Horse owners who have used this herbal remedy have reported measurable improvement in their horse's joint and muscle movement.
Adding Devil's Claw as an equine feed supplement to a veteran horse's feed can help to relieve the general stiffness which is often evident as a horse or pony ages - sometimes it can be as effective as the prescribed medicines and injections to treat equine arthritis.
In tests the anti-inflammatory action of Devil's Claw has been found to be equal to that of steroids.
Devil's Claw has also been shown to have analgesic, sedative and diuretic properties on horses.
