Did this do anything for you?As a bit of a note, I was in a health food store recently in the States and got 2 ounces of Pau D'Arco Lapacho powder for around $4
I had never seen it powdered before. Now i'm using it with Cascara in tea form as needed.
I thought it was the k1 that deals with coagulation, not k2Some K1 from greens will be converted into K2 (needed for coagulation).
Yes, indeed. I haven't been able to edit (function limited). Sorry for mistake.I thought it was the k1 that deals with coagulation, not k2
Would the vital ingredients be well-absorbed if they are hydrophobic? Wouldn't it help to have these substance coaxed out using a suitable solvent, like ethanol? Would a mother tincture be better then?Teabags are no good. A fine powder is best, washed down with some water.
I'm not entirely convinced myself that a mother tincture is needed given that pau d'arco, as I am to understand it, has been drank as a tea by the natives in South America. But there are as much as 50 varieties of the tree that can be classified as having bark that van be called pau d'arco. So there is enough variation in pau d'arco for it to have good effects taken in different ways, I suppose.Tinctures leave out the water-solubles. The major beneficial components of Pau D'Arco might very well not be water-soluble, although this seems strange from what I've researched in the past, but taking the herb whole (as nature provides it to us) as a very fine powder (best absorption) seems to me like the best course of action. The cell walls can be broken down even further by boiling the powder and drinking it all down (but you may be destroying some heat-sensitive compounds...)
