Latin Name: Handroanthus Impetiginosus

Lapacho (also known as “Taheebo”) is a Herbal Tea originating from South America. Unlike many other infusions, most of which derive from leaves (including South American Yerba Mate), Lapacho Tea comes from bark! Specifically, it’s the product of inner bark from the pau d’arco tree (Handroanthus impetiginosus), thriving deep within the Amazon rainforest.

There are several Lapacho medicinal uses. Some of the most important are:

• Antimicrobial/antifungal : Lapachol an active component of Pau D’arco has been shown to be effective against bacteria s. In addition, lapachol has quite a significant effect on candida by breaking down its cell walls and structure.

• Analgesic: Lapacho is an effective pain reliever. It is shown to be effective in the pain management of conditions, such as arthritis with a number of testimonials online to support this. Some of its anti-inflammatory actions can be attributed to its ability to also reduce pain.
