NCIt definition : An herbal combination of two plants, devil's claw (Harpagophytum procumbens) and jambul
(Eugenia jambolana) that may be administered both orally and topically in various
formulations. Devil's claw has been used as a tonic, as a hypoglycemic, to cleanse
the lymph system, and in the treatment of arthritis and rheumatism. This agent may
have anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties, possibly due to the presence of antioxidants,
phenols, tannins, triterpenoids and volatile oils. Jambul seeds and fruits have important
carminative and astringent properties and may reduce blood sugar levels. This agent
contains glucosides, jamboline and ellagic acid which may check the conversion of
starch into sugar. (NCI04);
