Posted by Love Essential Oils on December 28th, 2019

The Pau D’arco tree grows mainly in the Amazon rainforest and has been used for its many health benefits by populations throughout the continent for hundreds of years. Some of the main uses include resolving infections, boosting the body's natural defenses, promoting healthy circulation and even fighting cancer. Here we will present seven health benefits of Taheebo Tea aka Pau D’arco.

1. Natural Antioxidant: Research has shown that one of the main active ingredients in Taheebo Tea, Beta-lapachone, increased the natural production of antioxidant enzymes in the body. This combined with other benefits could provide natural detoxification for the body.

2. Natural Anti-Inflammatory: Research has shown Taheebo tea's ability to reduce pain and inflammation up to 50% in mice. The active components slowed down the production of enzymes contributing to inflammation. Taheebo tea was also shown as able to protect the brain from damaging inflammation.

3. Mice given a strong brew Taheebo tea lost weight and body fat. They were fed Taheebo tea with a high-fat diet and still lost weight. They even showed reduced liver fat and cholesterol. Taheebo seemed to activate fat-burning pathways in mice at the DNA level

4. Bacterial Infections: Taheebo Tea has been used to fight infections and Bacteria for hundreds of years by indigenous people. Taheebo tea was able to kill the bacteria at the root of most stomach ulcers as well as stop the growth of 10 different strains of bacteria known to cause gut and digestive problems.

5. Yeast Infections and Candida: Candida overgrowth is rampant in most modern populations. As our appetite for processed foods and sugar grows, so do yeast and candida develop in our digestive tract. Taheebo tea has been effective at killing off various strands of fungi in the gut.

6. Blood and Bone Marrow: Taheebo Tea has been shown to increase blood and bone marrow health. Increased red blood cell production would improve the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood. This, in turn, could have important implications for the health of tissues throughout the body.

7. Cancer fighter: Do not attempt to replace cancer therapies with Taheebo Tea. It is still in the research phase, however, many cancer patients choose to add Taheebo Tea to their cancer-fighting regimen. 

Beta-lapachone revealed to be active against various cancers in cellular studies, such as against human breast, prostate, and leukaemia cancer cells.

Taheebo tea, could kill breast cancer cells by blocking estrogen receptors and activating cancer-fighting and detox genes.

Beta-lapachone could also increase the cancer-killing effects of radiation therapy in mice with head and neck cancers and prolong their survival. It decreased the activity of an important cancer gene, which is more active in cancer cells than in normal cells. This makes beta-lapachone naturally cancer-specific and opens the possibility to target various cancers.

Research has focussed mainly on Beta-lapachone and when tested on its own it has shown to have disappointing effects which is why research has somewhat stalled. Taheebo Tea, when brewed properly, contains over 20 active components that work with Beta-lapachone. These together have shown to be a true cancer-fighting powerhouse.Drinking Taheebo tea could potentially enhance the effects of conventional cancer treatments.
