The pau d’arco tree grows in the rain forests of Brazil. Unlike other trees in its midst, pau d’arco does not develop fungus growth, even though it grows in the most lush tropical rainforests in the world. Pau d’arco contains a chemical called lapachol, which may account for the herb’s traditional use in strengthening and supporting the immune system.
Why NSP Pau D’Arco?
This botanical has been used by many cultures to support the immune system in specific and valuable ways. Its active components, including lapachol, may provide important properties that benefit immune health. Research indicates that pau d’arco extract seems to smother microbes, not allowing them to get the oxygen and energy they need to thrive. Harvesting pau d’arco is no easy task, but it’s worth the trouble.
Pau d’arco wood is extremely popular as a building material, and because of this, the trees have been overharvested. They are an endangered and protected species in Brazil. So their government closely regulates the harvest and requires a permit for anyone to transport, trade or export any part of the tree. Nature’s Sunshine works with experienced Brazilian partners with whom we have done business for more than two decades. They ensure that the inner bark material—a by-product from a legal wood harvest—is carefully and legally acquired and shipped

THE STORY BEHIND PAU D’ ARCO CAPSULES
Several communities prized this botanical nutrient for its benefits. According to records, it was used by the Incas, the Kallawayas, and other native South American groups for its many healing properties. Pau d’arco is Portuguese for “bow tree.” That makes sense when you realize that its dense, rot-resistant wood makes excellent hunting bows, and the natives harvested it for just that. Its Latin name Tabebuia heptaphylla also led to the nickname taheebo. And many people from the region are familiar with taheebo tea. It’s also called lapacho, no doubt a reference to lapachol. For immune support that’s right on target, choose Pau D’Arco.

From Nature’s Sunshine Products Pau D’ Arco Lotion for Targeted Skin Support. Fortified with Tabebuia heptaphylla bark extract derived from the ancient Pau D’Arco tree, Pau D’Arco Lotion provides a powerful formula that replenishes the skin’s moisture barrier, prevents damage to the skin and promotes skin elasticity. Its moisturizing properties help soothe irritation and itching caused by dry skin.
Tabebuia heptaphylla bark extract is derived from the Pau D’Arco tree, which grows in humid climates. Yet somehow this tree does not grow fungus on its bark. Scientists studying the bark have found that it contains lapachol and beta-lapachone, two compounds that help this tree provide important anti-fungal properties. (These compounds are noted for their activity against fungi and microbes.) This bark also contains significant amounts of the antioxidant quercetin. Pau D’Arco Lotion contains natural seed oils known for their moisturizing properties and their ability to help the skin retain moisture. These include sunflower, coconut fruit, macadamia seed and olive seed.
