Is there anyone who used this?
It is good against yeast and Candida.
Can I take it with abx? Are there interactions?

Yes I used it along with caprylic acid from iHerb. It worked at the time. Though candida comes up again. I don't know about the intereactions so I checked with WebMD

http://www.webmd.com/vitamins-supplements/ingredientmono-647-pau%20d'arco.aspx?activeingredientid=647&activeingredientname=pau%20d%27arco
If the links dont work it says they have no info on caprylic acid issues to date and that Pau D'Arco does have interactions with anticoagulant medications.

I use it in my herbs mix. Don't know too much about it except it somewhat of an muscle relaxant I believe.

I take it all the time.

It is good for inflammation and MANY other things.

I use it as well. It's hard to tell if it's very effective (who knows how my Candida would do if I didn't take Pau D'Arco) but I choose to believe it does something good for me, haha. I haven't found any info on interactions, I just take it 3 hours away from my abx, like the rest of my supplements.

Its a major ingredient in NOW brand Candida Support, that I use on an off. I heard that Candida herbals should be rotated to prevent resistance. I take it with my ABX.

thank you all for your replies. I am going to take it.

PeteZa I would love to know which other effects it has?

tickbite666 one question for you. How long do you take Candida Support Now, and how long do you take a break? While that time, do you take anything else.

I started taking Pau d' Arco years ago. I woman that I knew briefly was taking it for cancer. She is the one that taught me all about it (she introduced me to Cat's Claw also). She told me it had antiviral & antifungal properties. She said it was also great as a cleanser of toxins. But, I had a lot of inflammation and she said it was good for that. My inflammation was my knees.

It became a go to herb in our home for when we were exposed to viruses or bacteria.

Here is what Dr. Axe says about it -- There can be side effects and interactions so read to the bottom.

I've been taking Pau 'd Arco Herb Pharm tincture for years. I give it to my kids at the first sign of a cold. Also, you can rub it on your feet and it will kill athlete's foot. Currently, I make a tea of Pau d' arco, Red Clover, stevia and stinging nettle that tastes great and has helped control my candida and allergies.

The Now Candida formula has pau d' arco in it. I think it is possibly the best herb I have ever taken. as side from Japanese Knotweed and Cat's Claw. I kind of shocks me that Buhner never really addresses it in any of his books. Researchers discovered that the bark from the tree had no fungus growing on it, hence its anti-fungal properties. It is very strong and will make you herx if you are sick. Pre- diagnosis, every time I got a sinus infection and started Pau d' arco, I would feel horrible 3 days after starting it. I now know, it was killing Lyme and I was experiencing die-off.

You must rotate candida killer herbs, as it develops immunity to this stuff. Kind of like lyme in that way. You can goggle this fact.

BlueBxMx,

I took a break from Now Candida Support for a few months. During that time I took Nystatin. I recently started up again. I may try to go 2 months on and one month off. Maybe add Seagate Olive Leaf Extract to the off months.

I heard your suppose to also rotate your probiotics brands, but have a tougher time.

How much Pau D'arco is enough? I read it can provoke nausea if taken in high doses. How much did you take?
Can I take it at the same time when I take abx?

Dr. Rawls mentions that Pau D'Arco shouldn't be taken long-term:

/rawlsmd.com/herbs

Has anyone read this anywhere else? If yes, do you know the reason.

And, if this is accurate, what constitutes "long-term"?

I read Pau D'Arco should be had as decoction to have any effect - 10 min boiling. So i take it in the weekends.
