What does Pau d'Arco Non-Organic contain?
It contains 100% pau d'arco from the inner bark of the red lapacho tree. There are no added herbs in the blend.
What is pau d'arco commonly used for?
Pau d'arco is commonly used in herbal tea routines for general cleansing and immune support. It has a long history of traditional use as a bark tea across South American and broader herbal traditions.
Why is the inner bark used?
The inner bark is the traditional part of the tree used in pau d'arco teas and herbal preparations, and is the part associated with the herb's classic use in traditional medicine.
What is the difference between the Non-Organic and Wildcrafted versions?
The Wildcrafted version carries a certification confirming it was harvested from the wild. The Non-Organic version does not have that certification. Because pau d'arco is a rainforest herb, it is unlikely to have been conventionally cultivated using pesticides - it is more probable that it was also wild harvested, simply without formal documentation to verify this. If certified sourcing is important to you, the Wildcrafted version provides that assurance. If you are comfortable with the herb itself, the Non-Organic version is a straightforward and accessible option.
What should I know before buying Pau d'Arco Non-Organic?
It is a simple single-herb tea rather than a flavoured blend. If you are looking for pau d'arco in a traditional loose herbal form without paying a premium for sourcing certification, this is a practical option. If certified wild harvesting matters to you, consider the Wildcrafted version instead.
