Benefits of lapacho
Every tree is a cure for something else. That is what the Amazon rainforest offers. The lungs of the world are also a kind of pharmacy. And there should be a whole imaginary shelf dedicated to lapacho.
Lapacho has many names. From Pau d'arco to the Tree of Life and the Inca drink to the Ant tree. The last term has to do with the fact that ants like to build their colonies in the dead parts of the trunk. However, we prefer a lapacho full of strength instead of ants. This tree grows in Latin America - in Brazil, Peru, Bolivia, Paraguay and parts of Argentina, to be exact.
It is a tall, slender, evergreen tree with red bark. That is what is beneficial about the tree. The inner bark, which has all the vital and beneficial substances in it, has been used for its health benefits for ages. Unfortunately, the tempting profit from sales often leads producers to add the outer bark to the lapacho mixture, thus reducing the resulting quality and the positive impact on health. Therefore, it is crucial to check the source before buying some. By carefully selecting the origin of the mixture, you can also make sure that the harvesting of the bark has been done gently and has not damaged the vitality of the tree.
A brew with a specific but not unpleasant taste and an intense reddish colour is prepared from lapacho. To take full advantage of all the benefits without side effects, it is recommended to drink the decoction in a maximum quantity of one litre per day for four weeks. After that, a break of several days is necessary. Pregnant women should avoid consumption altogether. However, lapacho can also be applied to the skin. In this case, no restrictions apply.
