Frontier Co-op Cut & Sifted Pau d'Arco Bark 1lb
Brand: Frontier Co-op

Frontier Pau dArco is the inner bark of a tropical tree native to Central and South America. The tea brewed from this species is commonly referred to as Lapacho or Taheebo and contains lapachol, quercetin and flavonoids. Like cat claw, pau d'arco tincture should be taken in water with a little lemon juice so tannins can be absorbed through the colon. Our bulk pau darco is kosher certified and non-irradiated.
Directions:
To prepare as a tea, pour 8 oz. boiling water over 1 to 2 teaspoons of herb. Cover and steep for 5 to 10 minutes, strain and serve immediately.

The pau d'arco tree is a huge canopy tree that grows up to 125 feet high, with pink to violet colored flowers. Its history of use is thought to go back to the Incas, and several tribes have been using it to make bows for centuries. Several native names in fact mean bow stick or bow stem.
Botanical Name: Tabebuia impetiginosa (Mart. ex DC.)
