Pau pereira 1 kg. Bulk Powder

Susan says "Fresh, authentic Pau Pereira (Geissospermum laeve; syn. G. vellosii) bark – 32 oz. (1 kg.) bulk powder is very hard to find - and it's not cheap. It is, however, VERY cost effective for people who will be using it over a long period of time. Here's the arithmetic. Pau Pereira 500 mg capsules in the 100-count bottle is $22. A kilo of Pau Pereira bulk powder is $260. That's a LOT, you're probably thinking, until you consider what you are getting. A kilo of powder is equivalent of 22 bottles. 

22 bottles  x $22 = $444. Subtract the $260 you're paying for the kilo of powder and you can see that you are saving $180. That's a big deal.

Pau Pereira is easily brewed as tea, encapsulated at your kitchen table (fun and relaxing!), and excellent in juices, smoothies or even sprinkled on yogurt. 

Preparations:

The bitter bark of Pau Pereira is traditionally taken in Brazil in the form of a decoction, infusion (tea), or fluid extract for the support intestinal and liver health, as well as appetite and digestion. 

To prepare a decoction of Pau Pereira, use 30 g of the bark for each liter of water. Bring water to a boil in an open ceramic pot and then add the powder. Reduce the heat to medium-low and place the lid on the pot. Allow the mixture to simmer for 20 minutes. Pour the mixture through a fine strainer and allow it to cool for a time before drinking. Refrigerate unused portions in a well sealed container. The traditional dosage is 1 cupful 3 times daily. 

An infusion of Pau Pereira is traditionally prepared in Brazil by storing the bark in cold water. A cupful is taken 3 times a day. Before ingestion, the liquid should be poured through a fine strainer to remove any sediment. 

The powdered bark of Pau Pereira is also available in capsules.
