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 the people of South America for 1000 years. It contains many minerals, trace elements, and other active substances. Lapacho tea can be consumed daily as a mineral-rich drink, social tea, or chilled as a meal beverage.

It can also be used externally for compresses and washing, eye baths, poultices, and as a bath additive. Use "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 great resistance to attacks by fungi, spores, and viruses. The flowers even eat insects. The inner bark contains, among other things, iron in an easily absorbable form and about 20 other minerals.

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

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

You can use sweeteners for 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 another herbal tea like peppermint. The tea itself has a sweet flavor with notes of bark. If you take too strong doses, you may feel slight nausea. Simply reduce the strength or amount of tea. These symptoms usually disappear after a day.

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