Common Names: Pau d’Arco, Taheebo, Lapacho, Purple Trumpet Tree

Overview:

Pau d’Arco is a powerful rainforest botanical traditionally used to support immune health, detoxification, and internal cleansing.  Sourced from the inner bark of the Purple Trumpet Tree, this wild-harvested herb has been revered for centuries throughout South and Central America. Known by Indigenous healers as “Taheebo”, Pau d’Arco is brewed into rich herbal decoctions with a naturally earthy, slightly bitter taste.

Our Pau d’Arco is cut and sifted, ideal for long-simmering herbal teas, infusions, and traditional wellness preparations. Sustainably wildcrafted and never irradiated, this botanical is a staple in herbal detox blends and parasite protocols.

Historical & Cultural Background:

Pau d’Arco has deep roots in the traditional healing systems of the Amazon and Andes. Indigenous tribes have long used the bark to brew cleansing teas for skin support, fungal balance, and immune wellness. In Brazilian herbalism, it is often consumed during seasonal shifts or periods of imbalance. Known for its bitter energetics and grounding properties, Pau d’Arco is still widely respected in South American natural medicine today.

How to Use:

Simmer 1–2 teaspoons of cut bark per 8 oz water for 15–30 minutes. Strain and enjoy warm. For stronger decoctions, simmer longer or blend with other detoxifying herbs. Not intended for short steep infusions; Pau d’Arco is best prepared via slow decoction to fully extract its beneficial compounds.
