Aether Pau D'Arco Powder

Pau d'arco has a long and well-documented history of use by the indigenous peoples of the rainforest. Indications imply that its use may actually predate the Incan civilization.

Pau d'arco is a huge canopy tree native to the Amazon. It is extremely valuable as medicine as well as timber, prized for its high-quality wood, which is some of the heaviest, most durable wood in the tropics.

Several Indian tribes of the rainforest have used pau d'arco wood for centuries, naming the tree tajy, which means - to have strength and vigor. Warriors would often construct their hunting bows from the wood, as well as the bark would be used to treat many different conditions and as a tonic to put the same strength and vigor into their bodies that it puts into their bows.

Tribes living thousands of miles apart have used Pau D'Arco for the same medicinal purposes for hundreds of years. Guarani and Tupi Indians are reported to be the first to harness the benefits of the inner bark, which they used to treat malaria, respiratory problems, immune imbalances, fungal infections, fever, snakebite, boils, syphilis, and cancer.

When we look at the active ingredients and pharmacological effects we can see that the native people of the amazon basin were completely right in their traditional uses of this medicine.

The bark contains a large amount of chemicals known as quinoids, and a small quantity of benzenoids and flavonoids. These quinoids (and, chiefly, anthraquinones, furanonaphthoquinones, lapachones, and naphthoquinones) have shown the most documented biological activity and are seen to be the center of the herb's efficacy as a natural remedy

Of particular medicinal interest is lapachol that co-occurs with lapachone, they form covalent bonds with proteins and DNA. Various studies have shown definite antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal activity which proves its effectiveness in treating candida and other bacteria, fungal and viral over growth.

It also has cancer preventative activities which are ascribed to lapachol and lapachone which activate cancer fighting genes and trigger tumor cell death. Pau D'Arco also demonstrates non-specific immune stimulating effects due to the naphthoquinones even when taken in low doses. This sacred herb is also antinociceptive (pain-reducing) and antiedematogenic (reduces swelling)
