Uncaria Rhynchophylla Herb Uses, Benefits, Cures, Side Effects, Nutrients

Uncaria rhynchopylla is a cousin of uncaria tomentosa. They get confused a lot, but they serve different purposes. Cat's claw, which you are taking, primarily boosts your own immune system so that you are better able to kill spirochetes. Uncaria rhynchopylla prevents death of brain cells by (1) calming inflammatory action of microglia and (2) putting a check on stress caused by glutamate that can otherwise cause mitochondria to work themselves to death, leading to brain cell death, which leads to more glutamate release, and then more excited, self-destructing brain cells. Nobody likes that, so take this helpful herb and save your brain while you go about getting your neuroborreliosis under control.
