Pau D’Arco – Inner Bark
Tabebuia impetiginosa | Whole Bark & Powder
Discover Pau D’Arco, a traditional South American botanical ingredient obtained from the inner bark of the Pau D’Arco tree.
Also known as Lapacho or Taheebo, Pau D’Arco has a long history of use in South American botanical traditions, particularly in the preparation of herbal infusions and decoctions.
The bark has a distinctive woody character, with earthy and naturally bitter notes. It is traditionally prepared by gently simmering the bark in water.
At Heal of Nature, we offer Pau D’Arco in two convenient forms: chopped inner bark for traditional herbal preparations and finely ground powder for those who prefer a powdered botanical ingredient.
