Whole Formulas Pau D’Arco, 90 ct
Pau d’arco (Tabebuia impetiginosa), or “pink lapacho,” is a tree native to the rainforests of Central and South America. It can reach heights of 125 feet and is decorated with stunning clusters of pink or violet flowers. The exterior bark is extremely tough and resistant to disease. The Portuguese translation means “bow stick” in reference to the bows created from the tree by South American Indians.
The inner bark of pau d’ arco is used for medicinal purposes. It is believed the ancient Incas and the indigenous peoples of South America steeped a tea of pau d’arco bark to treat disease and strengthen general health.
Two chemical compounds identified in pau d'arco, lapachol and beta-lapachone, have shown antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral and antiparasitic activity in several studies. Whether or not it has these effects on the human body is still scientifically inconclusive.
Pau d’arco is commonly used to support the immune system in dealing with a range of infections, including:
- colds
- flu
- respiratory infections
- bladder infections
- parasitic infections
- certain sexually transmitted infections
It is also used by some to promote blood purification.
