Question Pau d'Arco Herbal Tea?

Has anyone out there heard of or tried this Tea called Pau d'Arco. I was looking up Ipe wood which my Bazin might be made of and found this on Google; http://www.pau-d-arco.com/

Seems as if it's a cure for a lot of things. What say you all?

Never heard of it Ken. But instinct tells me take it with a grain of salt!

Well, whatever else it is, it's played with the bow.

Thumbs up Has scientific merit!

Pau d'arco, or the inner bark of the Tabebuia avellanedae tree, is native to Brazil, where it is used traditionally to treat a wide range of conditions including pain, arthritis, inflammation of the prostate gland (prostatitis), fever, dysentery, boils and ulcers, and various cancers. Preliminary laboratory research examining the properties of pau d'arco is beginning to suggest that the traditional uses may have scientific merit. Such laboratory studies have shown that pau d'arco has pain killing, diuretic, anti-inflammatory, anti-infectious, anti-psoriatic, and anti-cancer abilities. Taking this early data, combined with information collected about traditional uses, herbalists may recommend pau d'arco to treat or prevent a number of conditions, including candidiasis (a yeast infection of the vaginal or oral areas), herpes simplex virus, influenza, parasitic diseases such as schistosomiasis, bacterial infections such as brucellosis, and inflammation of the cervix (cervicitis) or the vagina (vaginitis). Pau d'arco may also reduce inflammation of the joints associated with arthritis.

Health food stores and Supermarkets that sell lots of Teas. Try Google and see if it pops up or mail order it if need be.

In the Hawaiian language, "pau" means finished, done, it's over. So to me, "pau d'arco" means "give up on the bow, already!"
