Pau D'Arco-bark

The bark arrived in nice chunky pieces, not the dusty powder I half expected, so it actually brews into a proper dark tea. I've been drinking a cup during seasonal shifts and it's become a ritual I look forward to. Steeped about 15 minutes it's earthy and a little bitter, but a spoon of honey sorts

Bought this for a fungal issue that wouldn't clear up, and after about two weeks of daily tea it finally settled down. The bark comes in good-sized chunks and has a strong earthy taste, so I add honey. Steeping a big batch each morning has become part of my routine now.

I've been using this during seasonal shifts when my immune system feels run down, and the deep cleansing effect is noticeable within a few days. The dried bark holds up well in a long simmer, and I appreciate that it's chunky rather than powdery.
