Pau D'Arco is a tropical tree that has been used by natives in the Amazon as a folk remedy for hundreds of years. Pau D'Arco is an immune stimulant and helps keep the gastro-intestinal system healthy, making it less hospitable to yeast, parasitic, bacterial, fungal and viral infections. Studies have shown Pau D'Arco to be anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant, as well. Our naturally delicious alcohol-free glycerite extract is made from the dried inner bark of the Pau D'Arco tree, sustainably harvested in the U.S. Pau D'Arco is low in phenols and is a very nontoxic, safe herb. Pau D'Arco is one of the supplements used in our Natural Candida Program. Contraindications: Pau D'Arco is an extremely safe herb. However, as with any nutritional supplement, you should consult with a health practitioner before using during pregnancy or lactation. Interactions: Pau D'Arco can thin the blood. Please consult with a health practitionerbefore taking if you are taking blood thinning medication or vitamin K.
