Devil's Claw (Harpagophytum procumbens) is also called the grapple plant and wood spider. The plant is in the sesame family and is native to Africa. Used medicinally, the dried root is good for fighting inflammation and pain caused by inflammation. It is a wonderful natural pain reliever. As with all medicinal herbs, treat Devil's Claw as you would any other medicine and consult your doctor before using it (especially if you are taking prescription drugs, have a health condition or are pregnant/breast feeding). The pods of the Devil's Claw plant can be harvested while young and eaten much like okra. The roots and tubers are what are harvested for medicinal purposes and dried for use in tea and other remedies.
