AHP Monographs – Devil’s Club

Devil’s Club: Bark of Decumbent Stem, Root, and Lower Stem

Oplopanax horridus  (Sm.) Miq.

Devil’s club is one of the most important botanicals for Native Americans throughout the plant’s growing range, most especially in the Pacific Northwest. While never a superstar in the herbal products industry, perhaps rightfully so due to its ecological sensitivity, it is important to catalogue its known benefits.

This is the first monograph of its kind on Oplopanax, and we are happy to be able to highlight some lesser known uniquely North American natives.
