Pau d'Arco
A Traditional South American Herbal Tea
Herbal
Dietary Supplement
Pau d'Arco is the inner bark of a South
American tree. It has been used by traditional healers in
Brazil, Argentina, Peru and other South American countries for
centuries. Modern researchers have largely focused on isolated
constituents of Pau d'Arco, particularly its naphthoquinones
including lapachol and anthraquinones including tabebuin.
We
believe that Pau d'Arco's benefits are due to the combined
action of all of the plant's naturally occurring constituents,
so using it in its whole form infused as a hot tea is superior
to the actions of isolated plant chemicals.
How does it
taste? It has an earthy taste - woody, astringent and slightly
bitter.
