Pau Pereira Bark Powder


Scientific Name: Geissospermum Vellosii

Family: Apocynaceae

This Brazilian tree, from the Apocinaceae family, is found in the states of Rio de Janeiro, Minas Gerais, Bahia and Espírito Santo, and is widely used as ornamentation in squares and public places due to its beauty, large and striking crown and the flowers it presents between the months of May and June, the winter season. Popularly called Pau-Pereira, Geissospermum laevis has several names, which vary according to the region, such as: Chapéu de Sol, Tinguaba, Pau Forquilha, Pau de Pente, Paratudo, Canudo Amargoso, Ubá-Açú, Pereiroá, among many others. However, its most popular name, they say, came from the Europeans who began to explore Brazilian soil in the mid-1500s due to its similarity to the Pereira.

From the Apocinaceae family, the pau pereira (Geissospermum vellosi) is from the geissospermum genus, a common plant in northeastern and southeastern Brazil and considered a very important vegetable in domestic medicine..

The used part of the pau pereira is the bark of the tree, which is coarse on the outside and fine and light yellow on the inside, which breaks easily into thin layers of wood with therapeutic effects.

A curiosity about the plant is that in the old city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, it was quite common, in the city's taverns, to add Pau Pereira bark to cachaça bottles, or even to make their own bottles from the wood of the tree. The bohemians of the time believed that if they consumed the drink next to the wood of the tree, they would have more sexual appetite, as it had invigorating substances.
