Pau d'arco Tea

Pau d'arco is a natural botanical that is derived from the inner bark of the Tabebuia Avellanedae or Tabebuia Impetiginosa (Taheebo) tree grown in South America. Pau d'arco tea has been used for many centuries by the Indio tribes of South America, the ancient Incas and Aztecs were probably the first to be familiar with the teas wonderful properties. Pau d'arco tea is also known as taheebo and ipe roxo. The inner bark of the tree is similar to cork oak, harvested in such a way as to leave the tree in a state of complete health. The bark harvest is carried out once or twice per year and there are now many lapacho (pau d'arco) plantations that use this organic-ecological cultivation method corresponding with the traditional culture of the Indios. Only after the 40th year of life can the inner bark be harvested with optimal composition. The tree itself can live to be 700 years old.

Pau d'arco Tea, the Tree and Folklore

The native Indians of South American countries have used pau d'arco for thousands of years, there are indications that its use may actually ante-date the Incas. Before the advent of the Spanish, the Guarani and Tupi-Nambo tribes in particular used great quantities of pau d'arco tea.
The Guarani, Tupi and other tribes called the pau d'arco tree "Tajy," meaning "to have strength and vigor,"or simply, "The Divine Tree."

Most lapacho (pau d'arco) trees are found in Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay and are considered ozoniferous trees or trees which primarily grow in high ozone regions. Typically, air that has high ozone counts is fresh and free from pollution, exhaust, smoke, pesticides and other toxins.

The herbal component of this tree is found in its inner bark and is known by a variety of names. The origin of its name which means "bow stick" comes from the ancient practice of using its limbs to make archery bows.

Legends relate that the Vikings sold pau d'arco tea and believed that it originated on the moon. The Czars of Russia reportedly drank pau d'arco and even Gandhi supposedly was a staunch believer in a daily cup, the South American Indians shared pau d'arco with early Portuguese and Spanish settlers who further spread its use.
