Experienced chronic frequent urination and bloating of my bladder and abdominal area. Some constipation. Incredible improvement after drinking Pau d'arco tea for just 2 days. More frequent bowel movements and less bladder discomfort. And I am sleeping better as a result. I drank the Alvita brand tea.

My 81 year old mother was diagnosed with MDS about two months ago, she read an article recommending this herb for low blood counts - well she is currently in the hospital with kidney failure and liver failure. She has developed fluid on the lungs and heart. This, our oncologist, said is a direct effect of this medication. Thanks loads!!!!!!

I was taking this medication for GI issues. I have taken this 5x & each time it’s direct correlation I start Menstruating. When I stop, I stop menstruating. This is the worst side effect!

I have been taking Pau D'arco tablets ( also use Nature's Herbs 1000 mg by Zand sold in health food stores ) for several years after someone suggested use for ALLERGY TREATMENT. I take it only as needed for congestion, sore throat, and related symptoms ( cold gengestion, etc.). It was also effective in stopping food allergy reactions - swelling of throat- when I did not have allergy medicine with me. It takes effect within 5-20 minutes. The bottle recommends one or two tablets per day, but I do not do that. I take ONLY WHEN NEEDED. ONE TABLET AT A TIME. I have noticed some dizziness on occasion, but I think that has to do with the mucous draining and affecting the nerve associated with balance. ( I have similar reaction to prescription drugs for Flu, etc. ). Contraindicated use with aspirin makes sense to me, as I have experienced " blood spots " under the skin when I have taken aspirin (blood thinner ).Read More Read Less

I have been drinking 3 cups of this tea for one week. It has not cured my candida which is the reason I was drinking it. It has caused rectal bleeding.

I have CLL, Chronic Lymphosetic Leukemia for 20 years. Suddenly it became active and my WB count went to 79K from 15K, then a week later to 61K. I began a one-cup a day Alvita Pao D' arco tea. 3 weeks later it was 23.5K. A month later 18K. I'm a believer!

I was taking this treatment to help with phlebitis and also a bladder infection. It may have helped the phlebitis a little but didn't get rid of the bladder infection. It also gave me a bad fever and 'flu like symptoms which disappeared like magic when I stopped using it.

A year ago I develop a goiter, it was very noticeable. Last winter after a cold it double in size and was very painful. I was worried that I woud need surgery. I started a treatment of Pau d'Arco tea and in about 2 weeks I could see it getting smaller and now after 2 months it is completely gone and I feel great.

I took Pau d'arco capsules regularly when I had gum disease. When I would stop the gums would become very painful. I also would use the contents of the capsules when I would get boils or carbuncles on my skin. Nothing compared.

I have used this for viruses and as an anti bacterial it works better then RX meds for 10 years and I have not experianced any negatives. Hopefully this will go mainstream so we can stop the mega poison drugs used on anibiodic resistance bactaria . PLANTS evolve chemicals do not!

Discovered that this reduces the impact of the over-production of Serotonin caused by my Carcinoid tumor, especially the flushing. I have taken six tablets a day for many years, and it has had a definite. impact on reducing the symptom.
