Dr, Meyer states Pau D’Arco is “analgesic, sedative, decongestant, diuretic, and hypotensive”. Such properties have justified its use for many different ailments.

Had treated a woman with a difficult yeast infection. “Two hours after using the tea as a douche the vaginal yeast infection was cleared up nicely,” he says. Dr. Anderson’s patients now begin drinking Pau D’Arco tea-1/2 to 1 cup tea per day, increasing to a maintenance dose of 4 cups per day in approximately 1 month.
Phyllis Saifer, M.D., a clinical ecologist from Berkeley
reports good results from members of the Environmental Illness Association who are now using Pau D’Arco. Two members who previously experienced incapacitating cerebral symptoms now claim to be in good health with few or no remaining symptoms. One of the victims had been taking 16 Nystatin pills (an anti-yeast medication) daily. She now takes one every 7 days.

“From my first experiments with Pau D’Arco, I learned two important things that greatly encouraged me in regard to cancer: first it eliminates the pain and second, it multiplies the amount of red corpuscles.”
The America Cancer Institute
The America Cancer Institute has this report in “Cancer Chemotherapy Reports” Part 2, Vol. 4, No. 4, Dec. 1974:”More recently Pau D’Arco contains Quechua, a substance found to be a powerful antibiotic with virus-killing properties.”
Dr. Norman Farnsworth of the University of Illinois
confirms the claims that Pau D’ Arco contains a substance that is highly effective against cancers. While many herbs are credited with properties that stop cell growth, Pau d’Arco contains compounds which seem to attack the cause of the disease.
Dr. James Duke of the National Institute of Health (NIH)
agrees that Pau D’Arco undoubtedly contains a substance found to be highly effective against cancers.
John Heinerman, a medical anthropologist who specializes in the study of herbal medicines,
“It sounds too good to be true, but it seems to have earned for itself considerable merit in the successful treatment of most forms of cancer, diabetes, and certain other debilitating diseases…”
