purple devil's claw at dusk

this exotic beauty is growing in the front yard!
primarily used to treat arthritis, devil's claw has also been used for ages as a blood purifier. it removes toxins from the blood by cleansing the system. strengthening of the arterial walls and veins by keeping them elastic prevents hardening and buildup. by keeping the blood vascular circulation clean and clear from buildup and blockages our bodies can maintain a systemic, over-all-body well being, which in turn can slow down the aging process.
