Folk medicine has often put pau d'arco forth as a treatment for a wide range of medical disorders, including anemia, asthma, bronchitis, diabetes, eczema, enlarged prostate, influenza, intestinal worms, sexually transmitted infections, skin infections, urinary tract infections, and cancer. However, there is generally no quality evidence supporting any of this.3 

There is some preliminary evidence from research in animals, animal cells, and human cells that pau d'arco could one day help treat medical conditions. 

Here is a look at some of these critical research findings.

Inflammation

Pau d'arco has been studied in several types of inflammation, including Pau d'arco (Tabebuia avellanedae) extract decreasing inflammatory cyclooxygenase II in human cells.4

Researchers studied pau d'arco (Tabebuia avellanedae) water extract in mouse cells and live mice.5 The mouse cell study showed decreased production of some inflammatory chemicals, including prostaglandins, and nitric oxideThese results suggest pau d'arco may have some anti-inflammatory effects. In the live mouse study, researchers gave the animals a substance called arachidonic acid to cause ear swelling. They found that the Tabebuia avellanedae extract given to the mice by mouth decreased the swelling.

More about prostaglandins: Prostaglandins appear at tissue damage or infection sites. They cause inflammation, pain, and fever as part of the healing process. By countering this effect, pau d'arco may reverse the swelling and pain associated with inflammatory conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate). These effects are still theoretical, and more study in people is necessary before researchers can draw firm conclusions.

Another study also gave Tabebuia avellanedae water extract to mice who had colitis to test its anti-inflammatory effects.6 Scientists found that the extract caused mice to have fewer clinical symptoms and reduced tissue inflammation. Like the previous study, results from mouse studies are somewhat promising but do not necessarily apply to humans.

Infections

The Tabebuia tree's bark is highly resistant to rotting, mold, and other common tree pathogens (bacteria, viruses, or other tiny organisms that may cause disease).7 These properties may or may not eventually translate to the treatment or prevention of common bacterial, viral, or fungal infections in people. This section includes one study in humans that used a combination product, but most research involved animals and in vitro study instead.
