Question Cat's Claw query

After reading for days on end, I still cannot find a "method" for brewing Cta's Claw ( i have the shredded tea) no tea bags. And then what dosage to use after I have brewed it. Of course I have found dosgae of the tea all over the web but.....not dosage for freshly brew tea, and at what strength?
I have serious sinus troubles......I've had surgery ten years ago, I now have constant serious infection that no longer responds to antibiotics...If anyone has any answers to the above I would appreicate it.
Thanks

Hello Trinity,

Sorry I don't know about cats claw except that my cousin has used it in capsule form for a long time to successfully treat arthritis.

I do recommend that if you have infection problems that you start to learn about MMS.
I also advise that you go to www.HealthSalon.org and click on the MMS Testimonials category and the Infections category and you will learn some good information on battling infection.

And...welcome to natmedtalk!

Trinity, the Raintree data base has excellent information about so many medicinal plants, including cat's claw.
Also, make sure you scroll down and read the contraindications and drug interactions. If the precise information you want is not on their website, e-mail them. They were helpful to me, long ago, when I first researched graviola.

https://www.rain-tree.com/catclaw.htm

Traditional Preparation: For general immune and prevention benefits, practitioners usually recommend 1 g daily of vine powder in tablets or capsules. Therapeutic dosages of cat's claw are reported to be as high as 20 g daily and average 2-3 grams two or three times daily. Generally, as a natural aid for arthritis and bowel and digestive problems 3-5 g daily is recommended, if a good product is obtained. Alternatively, a standard vine bark decoction can be used much the same way indigenous people of the Amazon use it. The dosage for a standard decoction for general health and maintenance is 1/2-1 cup of a decoction once daily and up to 1 cup three times daily in times of special needs. Adding lemon juice or vinegar to the decoction when boiling will help extract more alkaloids and fewer tannins from the bark. Use about 1/2 teaspoon of lemon juice or vinegar per cup of water. For standardized and/or proprietary extract products, follow the label instructions.
