Pau d'arco, or lapacho, originates from the Amazonian rainforest as a broadleaf evergreen tree. Its bark is rich in naphthoquinones, compounds akin to those found in vitamin K-rich green leafy vegetables, along with antioxidants like quercetin. Dried and cut pau d'arco bark is commonly decocted to create teas, infusions, tinctures, and liquid extracts, harnessing its beneficial properties for various health applications.
