True Pau d'arco must come from correct species of tree and it must be processed properly. Research has shown that it is inner lining of bark that contains compounds that are most effective at fighting certain ailments and diseases. Once tree is harvested its bark is stripped and dried for a number of months until inner lining separates from outer bark. This inner lining is then chipped into small pieces and allowed to dry further. It is then ground up, sterilized and packaged.
