{"product_id":"lapacho-floios-pau-d-arco","title":"Lapacho – Pau d’Arco Bark (Handroanthus\/Tabebuia spp.)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLapacho – Pau d’Arco Bark – Handroanthus\/Tabebuia spp.\u003c\/strong\u003e is cut inner bark with a woody, earthy and noticeably bitter character. This is a natural raw material, so small differences in color, cut, size and aroma intensity are to be expected from batch to batch. At Spices Bazaar, we emphasize authentic botanical identity and practical use, without turning a plant’s traditional use into an unsupported therapeutic promise.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLapacho – Pau d’Arco Bark – identity and form\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe botanical reference \u003cem\u003eHandroanthus\/Tabebuia spp.\u003c\/em\u003e is important, particularly when related species or similar common names are involved. The product is supplied as cut inner bark. Drying removes much of its natural moisture and makes the material more brittle. As a result, smaller pieces or a little natural plant powder may be present without changing the product’s identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAroma, flavor and practical use\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe aromatic profile is woody, earthy and noticeably bitter. The name Pau d’Arco is used for material from several related species. The exact identity of the batch matters. We do not present the product as a treatment for cancer, infections or other diseases, and we do not carry over dosage instructions from concentrated extracts. The intensity is affected by the harvest season, cut and storage. For repeated recipes or blends, it is preferable to weigh the quantity and keep notes rather than estimate the ratio by sight alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDried herb and other commercial forms\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA dried plant is not equivalent to a capsule, standardized extract, tincture or essential oil. The concentration of natural constituents and the method of use can differ significantly. For this reason, we do not carry over dosage instructions, warnings or promises from one form to another. The labeling of the specific batch remains the primary source for its intended use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuality and proper handling\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe do not assess quality solely by how green or uniform a dried product looks. Natural raw material may darken, break or contain varying proportions of larger and smaller pieces. What matters is clear identification, proper drying, protection from moisture and keeping the batch intact. Always use a clean, dry spoon.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eRelated product in the catalog\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo compare it with another form or a related botanical raw material, see \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/kigchoni-apoxiramenos-floios-cinchona\"\u003eCinchona – Dried Bark\u003c\/a\u003e.

Keep the original label, do not mix batches, and note the date of opening. This helps keep both home and professional use better organized.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eStorage and precautions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eStore tightly sealed in a cool, dry, dark place, away from moisture, steam and strong odors. Caution is required when taking anticoagulants, with bleeding disorders and before surgery.
