Devil’s Claw Bat’s Head Seed and Root

Scientifically, Devil’s Claw is called Martynia Annua and the dried seed pod are fang-like claws that resemble the upper jaw and skull of a pit viper. It is also known also as the Unicorn plant, devil’s horn, double claw, cat’s claw, Tiger claw and ram’s horn.

It is actually from a pink-flowered annual with unusually small seed pods and is native to Mexico, Central America and is naturalized throughout tropical regions of the world.

Both the pod or seed can be used for various purposes, each having its own individual purpose depending on the person. But take note that the Devil’s Claw root is usually from another species called Harpogophytum Procumbent and originates from Africa.
