Cat’s Claw Bark Powder (Uncaria tomentosa)

Deep within the Amazon rainforest grows a climbing vine known for its distinctive curved thorns — a plant that has long been part of traditional Amazonian botanical knowledge. Our Cat’s Claw Bark Powder (Uncaria tomentosa) carries the spirit of this rainforest heritage, offering a simple and authentic connection to one of Peru’s most recognized traditional plants.

Also known as Uña de Gato, this Amazonian botanical has been appreciated for generations by local communities who have long incorporated it into traditional herbal practices. Carefully harvested in Peru and gently milled into a fine powder, it allows this rainforest plant to be easily integrated into modern daily routines.

For many, it becomes part of a mindful ritual — stirred into herbal teas, blended into botanical preparations, or included in plant-based wellness practices.

The Story of Cat’s Claw

Botanically known as Uncaria tomentosa, Cat’s Claw is a woody vine native to the Amazon rainforest. It grows along forest trees, climbing toward the canopy while developing curved hook-like thorns that resemble the claw of a cat — giving the plant its well-known name.

For centuries, Amazonian communities have valued this plant as part of their traditional botanical knowledge. The inner bark of the vine is typically dried and prepared as a tea or powder, becoming part of local herbal traditions passed down through generations.

Our Cat’s Claw Bark Powder honors this heritage by offering the plant in its most natural form — carefully dried, finely milled, and free from unnecessary processing.

These include naturally occurring:

• Polyphenols
• Plant alkaloids
• Tannins
• Natural plant sterols
