Wow! Pata de vaca (Bauhinia forficata) leaves – 16 oz. (1 lb.) bulk powder. Responsibly wildharvested.

Preparations

In Brazilian folk medicine, the leaves of Pata de Vaca are popularly prepared as an infusion (tea) taken after meals at a dosage of 1 cup per meal. Research has shown that the main components of the tea are polyphenols, including flavonoids. 

To prepare the tea, place half a cup of the powdered leaves in a tea ball or gauze bag and allow the powder to steep in 4 cups of freshly boiled hot water in a covered ceramic pot for 10–15 minutes. Pour the infusion through a fine strainer to remove any sediment and allow it to cool for a time before drinking. Refrigerate unused portions in a well sealed container. 

Caution: Not for internal use during pregnancy or lactation. If you are taking medications or have a medical condition, consult with a health care professional before use. Keep this product out of the reach of children.
