RE: Cat's Claw vs. Samento

[Guest guest]

For me, I use the whole herb in a tincture. I do have inflamation issues,

but find the whole herb works well. This was based on Buhner's books.

But then I also use wormwood, knotweed and CS.

I understand that Samento is Cat's Claw with the TOAs removed. From

Buhner's book, it seems that the TOAs may have central nervous system

benefits. However, someone had suggested that the Samento may have less

contraindications for auto-immune diseases as compared to the Cat's Claw --

that Samento might be a better immune system modulator, where Cat's Claw

would be an immune system enhancer. Does anyone know if this is the case, or

if Cat's Claw and Samento operate in the same way with regard to immune

system enhancement?

Thanks for any insights you might share.

Best,

Robyn
