Scientists at Rio de Janiero University researching the efficacy of traditional Brazilian healing plants concluded that two natural naphthoquinones found in Pau d'Arco - known to the Incas as the Tree of Life - could offer a new strategy for treating MRSA. MRSA - methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus - strains that cannot now be treated with this once commonly used antibiotic, are responsible for many of the hospital acquired infections that are currently causing serious public concern in Britain. For thousands of years before the discovery of antibiotics the peoples of South America used infusions of Pau D'Arco heartwood to protect themselves against infections and to maintain health and vigour. Modern laboratory tests have confirmed that the Incas' sacred plant contains some twenty ingredients that are effective against a wide range of common fungal, bacterial and viral infections.
