I bought a box of this when I was sick. I’ve read a lot about Pau D’Arco and how it’s supposed to be used for infections like the cold and flu. It’s from a tree bark and the flavor is pretty earthy with a bitter aftertaste and hurts my stomach. I cannot recommend it for the flavor at all! The woman I spoke with at the herb store yesterday told me the bitter flavor is good and I shouldn’t adulterate it but I couldn’t get it down without sweetener. Today I tried mixing it with some ginger root and that seems okay. Hopefully it is healthy, but after I finish the box I think I’ll try this in capsule form!

Hope you get feeling better soon!
Mrmopar – thanks I am better now, just drinking it more as a preventative measure while the cold & flu season is still around.
Oh yes, this is a difficult brew. Do try the capsules, and feel better soon!
This is aka lapacho, isn’t it? Be careful you don’t take too much, it can affect blood clotting.
