I was relieved to find that this book was not a sales pitch for some herbal product. On the contrary, this is a scholarly report on the many varieties of Pao d'Arco trees; their supposed benefits; their chemical compounds; their individual characteristics; and where they grow, etc. It talks about how the tree has been used successfully by the people of South America, Mexico, etc. for generations to help with a number of ailments. It talks about the Shamans and their vast knowledge of things herbal. But it also mentions modern scientific investigations undertaken - with mixed results. Overall, it gives a very balanced presentation as to the tree's potential. And finally, it is a plea for saving the rain forest so that these trees and herbs are not lost forever.

This is a small book - only 110 pages, with an extra 40 pages of End Notes. A few b & w photographs and illustrations.

Well worth the read.

I never received this book i ordered a year ago, i wrote to them many times telling them that i never received their book, they never wrote me back and neversent it to me.
So i would advise you to get it from a bookstore or another seller, because they billed me for a book i never received.
