(Taheebo) Source: archangelhealth.com  Pau d'Arco (also
known as Taheebo, Trumpet Brush, or Ipe Roxo) is the name of both a tree and a
medicinal extract from the tree's bark or heartwood. The Pau d'Arco tree is
native to Central and South America and the West Indies; it can reach a height
of 125 feet. The wood of the tree is highly valued by South Americans because of
its hardness and indestructibility. It has proven to be resistant to termites
and fungal decay. The tree is called Pau d'Arco or "bow stick,"
because the natives prefer its wood for making their archery bows.
The Pau d'Arco
extract is believed to be effective against bacterial, fungal, viral, and
parasitic infections, and is also considered an anti-inflammatory agent. It is
thought to destroy microorganisms by increasing the supply of oxygen to cells.
It also cleanses the blood and has a healing effect. Reportedly, tea made from
the inner bark of the Taheebo Tree helps fight against every disease or
condition imaginable. According to Brazilian and American sources, the tea has
been used successfully to treat various diseases including diabetes and even
leukemia and some cancers! Pau d'Arco is
available as capsules, tinctures, dried bark, liquid tea, and tea bags. Target
ailments for the Pau d'Arco herb include: candidiasis and various types of
infections, smoker's cough, indigestion, warts and rashes. May also prove
effective against AIDS, allergies, cancer and tumors, cardiovascular problems,
inflammatory bowel disease, and ulcers. Although clinical studies show Pau
d'Arco to be free of negative side-effects and is non-toxic, use of this herb by
children for more than ten days should be done in conjunction with a healthcare
practitioner. See the "Products-of-the-Month" section below for

For centuries,
before modern science isolated some twenty of its chemical ingredients, Pau
d'Arco was used as a folk remedy. Current scientific examinations of the bark
show that the most significant component is naphthoquinone, a derivative known
as lapachol. It has been shown to have significant anti-cancer activities. The
anti-microbial activity of Taheebo has also received much attention from the
scientific community. Lapachol causes oxygen to be increased at the local level,
which destroys bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. Some of the most
significant organisms affected by this action are: candida albicans,
staphylococcus, trichophyton, malaria, brucella, tuberculosis, and dysentery.
One of the most significant findings is the ability that Pau d'Arco has to
inhibit viral reproduction.
