Description
Pau D Arco bark comes from a tree that grows primarily in Argentina and Brazil.
The tree is known as taheebo. Unlike other trees in its midst, pau d arco does not develop fungus growth.
It contains a chemical called lapachol, which may account for the herb s traditional use in strengthening and supporting the immune system.
Pau d arco also has been used traditionally to maintain a healthy circulatory system.
The Incas and native tribes of South America used Pau D'Arco bark externally as a poultice or decoction for treating skin diseases.
Part used is inner bark.
