Re: Pau D'arco

Pau d'arco tea must be made very strong. Unlike leaf and stem teas, which are delicate and should be simmered, this is an inner tree bark. It should be BOILED for a very long time. Pau d'arco was my herb of choice for curing serious systemic candida a few years ago. I had symptoms for years and ate a very strict diet but pau d'arco was a turn around herb.

Again, this tea must be a strong brew to be effective. I have been researching the online info and I feel very dismayed to see "simmer for 5 - 15 minutes" This will not do it! I would generally place two handfulls of the shredded bark in my large soup kettle and boil it for at least an hour. Then turn off the heat and go to bed, letting it soak all night. I would turn on the heat again in the morning and simmer it for a long time. I would use this very stong concoction . . .mix it with water to taste. . . I very much like the taste of the strong brewed pau d'arco. I would not drink it bitter, but pleasantly strong. The advantage is that the medicines have been released into the cooked batch. . .then you may mix half and half or whatever tastes right to you.

Then, you will experience the healing power of pau d'arco.

It has been used in clinics in South America and healed all kinds of cancer and candida. You must also take care to eat healthy and purify your body in other ways.
