Pau D'Arco - Lapacho Bark

Pau D'Arco is an herbal tea made from the inner bark of the Lapacho tree. Lapacho bark is a natural remedy that has been used by South American populations for 1,000 years. It contains many minerals, trace elements, and other active substances. Lapacho tea can be consumed daily as a mineral-rich beverage, as a social tea, or chilled as a mealtime drink.

It can also be used externally for compresses and washing, eye baths, poultices, and as a bath additive. In these cases, use a "double strength" tea made from the tea powder as an external liniment for infected areas of the skin.

Properties of the Pau D'Arco tree: The Lapacho tree itself has very high resistance against attacks from fungi, spores, and viruses. The flowers even eat insects. The inner bark contains, among other things, iron in an easily absorbable form and approximately 20 other minerals.

Lapacho was already used by the Incan culture. In Europe, Lapacho was described in 1385 in a book from a monastery in Macedonia. Gandhi practiced Yoga for 30 years and during this time drank Lapacho tea.

Dosage: 1.5 tablespoons of bark and 1/2 liter of water simmered for 10-15 minutes. Recommended dose is 3-6 cups daily.

You can use sweeteners in the tea such as raw sugar, honey, or stevia. Stevia and lime juice (1-2 teaspoons) taste very good in it, or you can mix it with olive leaf tea or other herbal teas such as peppermint. The tea itself has a sweet taste with notes of bark. If you take doses that are too strong, you may experience mild nausea. In that case, simply reduce the strength or amount of tea. These symptoms usually disappear after a few days.

Contraindications: Should not be taken by those using blood-thinning medications.
