Devils club is scientifically named Opolanax horridum & literally can be broken down into three parts: oplo meaning 'armored', panax meaning ‘heal-all,’ and horridus meaning 'fierce'. Thus, this plant signifies a fiercely armored heal-all, a fitting description. Devils club belongs to the Araliaceae family and shares a relation with ginseng & acts as an adaptogen, aiding the adrenals by regulating the body’s response to stress, and it may nurture and calm an overactive nervous system when taken as a tincture or tea. Traditionally, Devil’s club is recognized as a potent expectorant and respiratory stimulant, facilitating mucus production to initiate beneficial coughing and speed up the recovery from respiratory infections, used to alleviate various conditions such as arthritis, ulcers, digestive tract problems, and diabetes.
