Pau D'arco Bark Powder

The plant features opposite leaves and dense clusters of flowers in shades of white, pink, purple and red, depending on the variety. The varieties that produce red, magenta, violet and crimson flowers are the most commonly used for medicinal purposes. Pau d'arco also produces fruit, or small pods, that contain numerous winged seeds. The pods typically remain on the tree throughout the dry season. Herbalists make medicinal preparations from sustainably harvested pau d'arco bark, or the dried inner bark of the tree.

Healers also use the herb often to support the body's ability to fight off illness. It has also seen use as a remedy for some skin conditions.
