Pau d'arco, also called taheebo, is native to South America, where it has been used to treat a wide range of conditions. There are nearly 100 species of pau d'arco, but only a few produce high-quality phytochemical material. It takes highly skilled collectors to know which species are most effective. There are reports of medicinal uses of pau d'arco tea dating back to 1873, and it was used in the Amazon rainforest as a "miracle" treatment for tumors with impressive anti-inflammatory effects.
The bark and wood of the tree are used externally and internally to treat: Arthritis, pain, prostate inflammation, fever, dysentery, boils, ulcers, various forms of cancer.

Let's see more about how Pau d'arco can help our health

• Rich in lapachol and other antioxidants
  Pau d'arco tea contains several compounds, including quinoids, benzenoids, and flavonoids. These compounds have demonstrated biological activity against harmful organisms.
• Reduces Pain
  Research shows that pau d'arco tea has the power to naturally reduce pain in patients suffering from cancer and other serious health conditions. It has the ability to reduce pain associated with various types of cancer, especially prostate, liver, or breast cancer. Drinking pau d'arco tea has also been found to help relieve arthritis pain.
• Fights Candida
  Pau d'arco helps the body fight Candida. Candida, also known as candidiasis, is a common yeast infection that has been shown to contribute to many health problems, from sore throats to serious stomach problems.
• Reduces Inflammation
  Pau d'arco increased the expression of Nrf2 target genes in the gut. Nrf2 is a protein that regulates the expression of antioxidant proteins that protect against oxidative damage caused by injury and inflammation.
• Helps treat ulcers
  Pau d'arco extract significantly accelerated the healing of acetic acid-induced gastric ulcers (in rats) by increasing mucus content and cell proliferation. This suggests the possibility that pau d'arco could be a treatment for peptic ulcer disease in humans.
• It has anticancer effects
  One of the most well-known effects of taheebo is its ability to fight cancer and relieve cancer-related pain according to preliminary animal studies. Beta-lapachone, a major compound in the pau d'arco plant, is a potential compound that can be added to cancer chemotherapy, particularly for prostate and lung cancer. It is one of the few new anticancer drugs under active investigation and shows promise for synergistic action with existing cancer therapies. In addition to its cytotoxic activity in various types of cancer, beta-lapachone has been found to have antimetastatic and anti-invasive abilities.
• Provides antiviral and antifungal properties
  It has been shown in both in vitro and in vivo studies to actively inhibit, kill or prevent the growth of several dangerous viruses, such as: Herpes, poliomyelitis, vesicular stomatitis, avian myeloblastosis, leukemia, rous sarcoma virus,
• Detoxifies the Body
  Drinking Pau d'arco tea is one of the best ways to detoxify. The blood vessels, lymphatic system, cells, tissues, and organs are all detoxified. This allows the body's systems to function properly and efficiently.
• Pau d'arco may aid in weight loss
  Animal studies show that pau d'arco extract inhibits pancreatic lipase, an enzyme that helps your body digest and absorb dietary fat. Blocking it reduces fat digestion - resulting in fewer absorbable calories.
• Rich in selenium
  Another powerful element in pau d'arco is selenium. It is an antioxidant that removes free radicals that damage cells and cause disease.
