Is cat claw good for herpes?
Cat’s claw is most often marketed as a treatment for viral diseases, such as herpes, shingles, acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, and feline leukemia virus. However, the evidence for these uses is extremely preliminary. Cat’s claw might make the immune system more active, which could increase symptoms of autoimmune diseases. If you have an autoimmune disease, consult your health care provider before using cat’s claw. Cat’s claw may slow blood clotting, and this might increase the risk of bleeding during surgery.
