The Lapacho

Lapacho is a tree that grows in South America at altitudes of around 1,800 meters. It is also known in the local language as Pau d'Arco, which means "Tree of Life", a name already full of promise. The inner bark or sapwood is ground into thin strips and drunk as a tea. This tea is a powerful tonic that regenerates the blood and naturally boosts the immune system. Research continues in America and Europe to unlock the secret of this Inca "Tree of Life", as it contains many as yet unknown substances. It represents a new hope for the prevention and treatment of many diseases. This is the first book in French to provide such precise information on Lapacho. It provides the general public and health professionals alike with the results of a field study. It also gives practical indications for its use, as well as the improvements obtained.
