Tarchonanthus Camphoratus: This plant grows in East Africa.
The local people have used it to cure irritations, pains and even
gastritis. A study was done on its use in sports based on the
tradition of the Masai tribes in Kenya: before venturing on a
journey into the savannah (dozens of kilometres always on the run)
they put two Tarchonanthus twigs under their armpits so they won't
suffer from fatigue, also avoiding swelling of the legs. Its
action reduces muscular irritation caused by lactic acid; this is
produced during continued effort, and makes it possible to obtain
a higher performance than average without any negative
consequences. It has a notable action on muscular tone and on
cellular oxygenation, while diminishing cramp caused by fatigue. |

Devil's claw: This plant, the botanical name of which is
Harpagophytum procumbens, grows in Southern Africa and was
discovered in 1700 by European missionaries. Its many properties
were only discovered later however in 1904 in South Africa. A
wounded native was saved by the local witch doctor thanks to a
mysterious plant. A German farmer, Mehert, followed the traces of
the witch doctor, and identified the plant so European herbalists
and doctors could study it. Today Devil's Claw is well known for
its notable diuretic, anti-inflammatory, decongestant and
analgesic properties. |
