Jatoba Powder
Jatoba, a bark from an Amazonian hardwood tree is a smooth source of caffeine-free natural energy as well as a potent anti-fungal, effective against all human fungal problems.
Jatoba produces an aromatic resin called ‘copal’ which is burned as incense. The bark is used traditionally for diarrhea, to expel intenstinal worms and parasites, to stop excessive menstraul bleeding. In Brazil the resin is used for coughs and bronchitis. Its documented antifungal action may make it useful for candida, as well as nail and skin fungus, such as athlete’s foot.
Preparation
One-half to one cup bark decoction 1-3 times daily or 1-3 ml of a 4:1 tincture is taken twice daily. A strong bark decoction or standard tincture diluted with water and a small amount of cider vinegar is used topically for skin or nail fungi or employed as a douche for yeast infections.
