Devil's Claw is a traditional remedy for general joint pains. How it works: Devils Claw contains a group of components known as iridoids which possess anti-inflammatory, anti-rheumatic, and pain-killing properties. The anti-inflammatory action has been shown to be equivalent to that of steroids, but the plant itself does not seem to contain steroids, which may be why it does not have the side effects associated with steroid use.
