Pau D' Arco
Virtuvites
Our Pau D' Arco is guaranteed to be 100% pure inner bark from the "purple" or
yellow flower tree. Each batch is inspected to ensure the best product available. Pau D'
Arco botanical name is Tabebuia impetiginosa, called Taheebo by the Indians; Tajibo or
Lapacho Morado by the Spanish. Pau D' Arco is believed to enhance the bodies natural
defenses
Researchers have detected in the inner bark of the Tabebuia trees a
handful of powerful infection-fighting compounds called naphthoquinones. One of
these substances (lapachol) seems to be particularly potent. Naphthoquinones
appear to help kill certain disease-causing bacteria, viruses, and fungi,
partially justifying the name given to this herbal remedy ("tajy," meaning to
have strength and vigor) by the Guarani and Tupi tribes in South America.
In addition, laboratory studies have demonstrated that pau d'arco has
anti-fungal properties on par with a common anti-fungal prescription drug (ketoconazole).
This action likely explains its effectiveness for vaginal infections (caused by
the yeast Candida), as well as for fighting the fungi responsible for
athlete's foot, jock itch, and other common fungal skin infections.
