Dilatris umbellata

Dilatris umbellata, also known as the Devil's Claw or Grapple Plant, is a succulent plant native to Africa, characterized by its distinctive hook-like spines and red or orange flowers.

It has been used in traditional medicine for centuries, particularly for its anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties, which are attributed to its iridoid glycosides content.

The health benefits of Dilatris umbellata include relief from arthritis, rheumatism, and other musculoskeletal disorders, as well as improved digestion and immune system function.

Dilatris umbellata can be prepared as a tea, tincture, or capsule, and is often combined with other herbs to enhance its medicinal effects.
