Uncaria tomentosa
| Uncaria tomentosa is a climbing plant native to the South American continent (Peru, Colombia and Brazil), to which are attributed numerous properties, including those immunostimulating, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antioxidant. Indicated especially in case of cooling diseases also in association with other plants of the genus. The extract of bark is used to fight and prevent infections and graze painful joints, to heal wounds, ulcerations, disorders related to puerperio, degenerative diseases, diseases and gastrointestinal pain. The immunostimulating action of the uncaria is conferred by the presence of pentacyclic alkaloids that induce in the human endothelial cells the release of a factor activating the regulation and proliferation of lymphocytes B and T responsible for the immune response. Uncaria is able to enhance the activity of NK cells and T lymphocytes, so it targets cells with cytotoxic action. For this reason it is indicated in the treatment of allergies, to strengthen the immune defenses against infections caused by viruses and bacteria and in the prevention of diseases due to cooling of the airways such as fever, cough and cold.
