- Abstract
In this article, I would like to introduce knowledge about two medicinal plants and their use in veterinary medicines. Harpagophytum procumbes (known as devil’s claw), and Boswellia serrata, are traditional, medicinal plants for thousands of years. Herbal medicine is one of the most important aspects of complementary medicines. Native people, in the steppes of South and Southwest Africa, use extract of Harpagophytum procumbes for the treatment of various diseases. Many preparations of devil’s claw are currently used in animals, and have become very popular in recent years in the alternative treatment of inflammatory disorders of the muscloskeletal system. There is good in vitro and in vivo pharmacological evidence of the anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties of radix Harpagophyti. Boswellia serrata is a deciduous, middle sized tree, which is mostly concentrated in tropical regions. It is one of the most ancient and respected medicinal herb in Ayurveda. Historically, Boswellia serrata was is recommended for osteoarthritis, juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, soft tissue fibrosis and spondylitis without any adverse effect. Oleo gum resin, containing boswellic acid, obtained from that tree, may be used for alleviating bronchitis, asthma and various gastrointestinal disorders due to its antiinflammatory effects.
