Whoever named 'thunder god vine' obviously had a flair for the dramatic. Or maybe the name was simply intended to alert the unwary that they were dealing with something powerful and dangerous.

I recently received this question about thunder god vine from an HSI member named Kathy:

'I have severe rheumatoid arthritis and have been searching for some natural relief for years. Nothing seems to really show it down. However, I recently came across some information about a Chinese herb called Thunder God vine. It is being used in China for autoimmune diseases with great success. I have read that the National Institute of Health is currently conducting some studies with this herb.

'Can you check this out? I have read that it is a poisonous vine and the part that is used medicinally has to be harvested carefully in a special way.'

An exotic name, a poisonous vine, and a root extract that relieves rheumatoid arthritis? This is a botanical with quite a story to tell.
