References and Research Info

It has been used as a panacea in South America for centuries. It was used by the ancient Aztecs and the Incas as one of their major medicinal herbs. Dr. Theodoro Meyer, an award-winning botanist from Argentina, died in 1972 after years of frustrating attempts to convince the scientific world of the great value of Pau d'Arco.

Pau d'Arco Bark (Tabebuia impetiginosa) has reportedly been used Native peoples in Central and South America to treat many conditions. Pau d'Arco is a rich source of iron, which contributes to the elimination of wastes from the body and the assimilation of nutrients. It contains a chemical called lapachol, known to support the immune system, and it also has antifungal, antibacterial and antibiotic properties. It has been used to treat immune deficiency disorders, cardiovascular problems and high blood pressure.

The Phytochemical Database housed at the U.S. Department of Agriculture has documented lapachol as being antiabscess, anticarcinomic, antiedemic, anti-inflammatory, antimalarial, antiseptic, antitumor, antiviral, bactericide, fungicide, insectifuge, pesticide, protisticide, respiradepressant, schistosomicide, termiticide, and viricide.

Besides lapachol, Pau d'Arco contains at least 20 other active constituents that are attributed to its other actions. It has clearly demonstrated broad clinical applications against a large number of disease causing micro-organisms which explains its wide array of uses in herbal medicine. Its action seems to come from increasing oxygen supply at the local level, destroying bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites.

Its antimicrobial properties were clinically demonstrated in several clinical trials, demonstrating strong activity against various gram-positive bacteria and fungi including, Candida, Staphylococcus, Trichophyton, Brucella, tuberculosis, pneumonia, strep, and dysentery.

Pau d'Arco and its constituents have demonstrated antiviral properties against various viruses including Herpes I and II, influenza, poliovirus, and vesicular stomatitis virus. Its anti-parasitic actions against various parasites including malaria, Schistosoma, and Trypansoma have been clinically validated. Bark extracts of Pau d'Arco have demonstrated anti-inflammatory activity and have been shown to be successful against a wide range of inflammations.
