Pau d'Arco (Tabebuia impetiginosa) 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 typically contains lapachol, quercetin and flavonoids. Frontier Co-op® bulk pau d'arco is kosher certified and non-irradiated.
Product color and size may vary by lot due to varying growing conditions.
To prepare as a tea, pour 8 oz. boiling water over 2 tsp. of herb. Cover and steep for 5-10 minutes, strain and serve immediately. While decoction is best for most roots, barks, and berries, Pau d'arco is a finely shaved bark and therefore can be prepared as an infusion or added to infusion blends. Longer steeping time is recommended for an infusion, 45-60 minutes.
Suggested Uses
Make as a tea or tincture. Pau d'arco tincture should be taken in water with a little lemon juice.
If pregnant, nursing, suffering from any medical condition, or taking medication, consult a healthcare practitioner before use. Keep out of reach of children.
