For generations the Incas used the sap-wood of this tree, also known as Pau-d'arco, Taheebo, Queshua or Tree of Life, for its many valuable properties. We can refer to a number of publications, ie. The "GrapePress", "Spotlight", "O Cruserio", and to the work of Dr Ruitz, Dr Meyer, Dr James Duke (National Institute of Health, USA), Ken Jones (a research scientist) as well as Prof. Walter D'Acorsi (experimental research specialist) as well as various experiments and results obtained in different South American hospitals.

From all this work it has emerged that the properties of "Lapacho" cover a broad spectrum of actions against various diseases and conditions. It is a potent tonic and a blood and cell regenerator; it stimulates the natural defenses and revitalizes the body. It is also a sedative, an analgesic, a diuretic, and a very potent antibiotic and antiviral agent.

Dr Meyer was the first to study its chemical composition and to isolate its active constituents. Thus, he found xyloidin, a very potent antibiotic and antiviral agent. Several researchers and doctors have been able to define other features such as its content of assimable iron, which helps the ingestion of other medicinal substances, allowing the elimination of waste products and toxins, cleansing the blood, and profound modification of metabolism; it also alleviates some deficiencies and acts as a powerful analgesic.

According to the work of Prof. W. D'Acorsi and of other doctors and investigators, some of the conditions for which Lapacho can provide effective relief are: anemia, arteriosclerosis, arthritis, asthma, bronchitis, cystitis, diabetes, eczema, gastritis, leukaemia, Parkinson's disease, polyps (intestinal and bladder), prostate enlargement, psoriasis, pyorrhea, rheumatism, skin disease, peptic ulcers, varicose ulcers, etc.

Dr. J. Duke and N. Farnsworth have revealed that Pau-d'arco/Lapacho undoubtedly contains substances that are highly effective against some so-called incurable diseases. The infusion of this bark, which provides a pleasant, natural drink, as well as the elixer and capsules are compatible with other medications which increases the chance of a cure.

Here, we at this site, Lapacho is available in Vanilla, Blackcurrant or Natural.
