Treatment with infusion of the ant tree bark

Ant tree is an evergreen plant that grows in the rainforests of South America, which also has the name “lapaho” (Tabebuia impetiginosa). The tree received this name from the local Indians because all the cavities in the core of its branches are inhabited by ants. The healing properties of the bark of this plant have been known for thousands of years. Even the ancient Incas used it for medicinal purposes.

Ant tree is a natural plant antibiotic and broad-spectrum immune corrector. The chemical constituents and active ingredients of Pau D’Arco have been well studied. Back in the 60s, many studies of its properties were carried out.

What are the medicinal properties of the ant tree bark?

Antibacterial effect

The antibacterial effect of the ant tree bark is due to lapachol, a compound secreted from the inner layer of the bark. It was first received in 1882. Lapachol exhibits a pronounced immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory effect, prevents the growth and reproduction of gram-positive and gram-negative microorganisms. In addition, scientists have confirmed that lapachol helps slow down tumor growth and reduce pain during the development of a malignant process.

Antiviral effect

The antiviral activity of the infusion of the ant tree bark is due to its ability to suppress enzymatic processes, without which the multiplication of viruses cannot occur.

Antifungal effect

The antifungal properties of the ant tree bark are associated with the presence of xylodine in it, which, together with lapachol, inhibits the growth of fungi in various organs and tissues.

Antiparasitic effect

The antiparasitic effect of the ant tree bark is expressed in the ability to inhibit the reproduction and development of intracellular parasites.

Immunomodulatory effect

Immuno-corrective properties allow the use of this unique plant in allergic and autoimmune processes in the body, without fear of their exacerbation. It increases the nonspecific resistance of the body, enhancing the mechanisms of cellular and humoral immunity. The infusion can be used as an adjuvant in oncological diseases, since it reduces the level of immunosuppression that occurs during traditional therapy.
