Excerpts from Nutritional Herbology

The Incas and native tribes of South America use pau d’arco bark externally as a poultice or decoction for treating skin diseases including eczema, psoriasis, fungal infections, hemorrhoids and skin cancers.

The recent popularity of pau d’arco in western herbology is attributed to its antifungal activity in treating systemic yeast infections like candida albicans.

Yeast infections often accompany or follow antibiotic therapy and can be especially resistant to conventional treatment. The antifungal action of pau d’arco is used to combat these infections by drinking the tea thrice daily.

Pau d’arco is an excellent herbal source of calcium. It is also diuretic and antipyretic.

Pau D' Arco is high or very high on the following nutrients:

  • Excerpts from The How to Herb Book

    Pau d' Arco (Taheebo) comes from the inner bark of the Red Lapacho tree in the Andes of South America. It has been used for centuries. Theodoro Meyer of the National University of Tucuman, Argentina was the first modern scientist to study Taheebo’s chemical composition. He found it contained XYLOIDIN – an antibiotic with viricidal properties. Also contains LASPACHOL – an element noted for its antitumor activity.

    I suffer from yeast infections frequently, especially during pregnancy. The over-the-counter meds didn’t touch them. After studying your website, I bought some of your Pau D’Arco and made it into a tincture as well as in a salve for yeast infections. I recently got another raging infection that kept me up all night. In addition to boosting my probiotic, I rinsed with diluted Pau D’Arco tincture a couple of times a day, as well as applied my salve frequently. Within 24 hours I was almost symptom-free! It was the first time I’ve had an infection that severe that I was able to clear up naturally, without taking any prescription meds.

    Tea bark healed me.

    I had terrible stomach problems in my teen age years that resulted in migraine headaches. I drank this tea faithfully for about 1/2 to 1 year. I can say that this has cured me. I also have a low blood sugar count, and with a continued watch on my diet(abstaining from sugars and desserts)and drinking this tea on and off, I have been headache free for the last few years. I would recommend this tea bark to anyone who might be suffering from the same.
