uncommonHERBS/GET TO KNOW BOTANICALS PAU D’ARCO: RICH IN VITAMINS & MINERALS Pau d’Arco contains the following essential nutrients: * Selenium * * Calcium * Zinc Vitamins A, B, and C * Magnesium * Potassium to kill yeast in a test tube. A 2010 study confirmed this strong antiyeast activity. In one paper, scientists confirmed that, from a collection of 14 tropical antifungal plants, pau d’arco proved to be the most potent medicinally. 3. It’s Anti-Inflammatory Research shows that pau d’arco inhibits the release of specific chemicals that trigger an inflammatory response in the body. A 2012 study showed that pau d’arco blocked inflammatory pain by 30–50 percent compared to a placebo. A study in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology reported that a tea made from the bark blocked several inflammatory chemicals. The study’s authors determined that pau d’arco may work by suppressing the production of inflammatory prostaglandins. Other research has confirmed these anti-inflammatory capabilities. A 2017 study looked at the antiinflammatory polyphenols in the bark and concluded that they inhibited both cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and COX-1 enzymes, the main culprits behind many inflammatory symptoms. In the same year, pau d’arco was found to benefit osteoarthritis. The herb is rich in quercetin, a flavonoid popular with naturopathic doctors to quell inflammation related to allergies and other conditions. And a paper from 2019 indicated that pau d’arco may help protect nerves in Parkinson’s disease. 4. It May Boost Weight Loss Pau d’arco may also aid weight loss. In one 16-week study, mice fed pau d’arco lost significantly more weight than those on a placebo. Part of the effect may be from a laxative action, as pau d’arco contains anthraquinones, the same type of laxative constituents as senna and aloe. A 2014 experiment indicated that pau d’arco attenuates increase in body weight and fatty liver from a high-fat diet. 5. It Combats Fatigue Indigenous healers in South America use pau d’arco for a wide variety of other conditions, including fatigue. A 2018 experiment found that a single dose of a polyphenol from the bark increased endurance. And a paper from 2019 indicated that pau d’arco helped protect nerves in Parkinson’s disease, which is often associated with fatigue. How to Take Pau d’Arco Pau d’arco extract is available in capsule, tincture, and powder forms, and the chopped bark can be used to make tea. Traditionally, 10–15 grams of the bark is simmered in water for 15 minutes and consumed as a tea 3 times per day, but higher doses are often used in natural medicine treatments. You can also find the herb in tea at a health food store. As a tea, pau d’arco has a pleasant, slightly sweet taste . product PICKS NOW Real Tea Pau d’Arco Herb Pharm Fungus Fighter Dr. Mercola PAU D’ARCO Karta Purkh Singh Khalsa, DN-C, RH, specializes in Ayurveda and herbalism, and has more than 40 years of experience in holistic medicine.
