Una De Gatto

 

Uña de Gato, Powerful Plant

By Morgan Maher

Uña de Gato, Uncaria tomentosa, or Cat’s Claw is among the most amazing and powerful plants on this planet. Since I first encountered this jungle vine several years ago, it has remained by my side as one of my most trusted and respected guides on the path of health, clarity, energy and immunity. Known also as the Opener of the Way — Cat’s Claw is Jaguar, Panther, Puma, Cougar. It’s one of the Big Cats. King of the Jungle. Uña de Gato is a force.

Further, Uña de Gato is graceful – it prowls, leaps, and moves through the branches of one’s body with ethereal ease and dexterity. It stalks, hunts and pounces on illness and dis-ease as though such things were helpless, unfortunate rodents — devouring, transforming and eliminating them. Amongst plants, Uña de Gato is an assassin, an angel, and simply one of the best spirits one could endeavour to befriend.

Cat’s Claw is well known for it’s beneficial effects upon the whole of the human body and spirit, capable of powerfully cleansing, healing, strengthening and tonifying numerous functions of the human body. It is exceptionally beneficial for the digestive system, especially the stomach and intestines.

Hippocrates — considered the father of modern medicine — stated; “All disease begins in the gut.” Cat’s Claw is supremely adept at hunting down and healing gastrointestinal imbalance and discord. In its cat-like manner it pounces, powerfully, effortlessly, it has you and rips through — wastes no time and gets to work; clawing, cleaning, clearing, repairing. As the plant cleanses these systems on a physical level, it strengthens on a spiritual level one’s intuition, enhances one’s “gut feeling” — offering clarity to one’s life and path.
