Description

Tabebuia impetiginosa - Pau d'Arco

Pau D'Arco has been used in South America for centuries by the Incas. It is a native tree of the Bignoniaceae family in North and South America, found from northern Mexico to northern Argentina.

Long history

Tabebuia impetiginosa is a striking and well-known species with a long history of human use. As a result, it has a variety of local names, including: ipê-cavatã, ipê-comum, ipê-reto, ipê-rosa, ipê-roxo-damata, lapacho negro, pau d'arco-roxo, peúva, or piúva. The name "pau d'arco" is the Portuguese word for "bow stick," an apt term given the tree’s use by indigenous South American Indians for making hunting bows.

Side Effects of Pau D’Arco

Due to a lack of scientific research, little is known about the long-term safety of pau d'arco. Common side effects include dizziness, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. The likelihood and severity of side effects increase with the dose. When taken in doses greater than 1.5 grams (1500 milligrams), pau d’arco can become toxic and cause damage to the kidneys or liver.
