Always consult your healthcare provider before starting any new herbal protocol.
Paico Leaf Tea (Tea leaves of Dysphania ambrosioides and Mentha piperita
Summarized Description: The product is an herbal blend of Paico and Peppermint -- both possessing vermicidal properties, with the former the stronger contributor to this medicinal property. Despite the efforts of the medical establishment to "pooh-pooh" Paico's worm-killing capabilities, studies have consistency bore out its efficacy. In one study conducted in Peru [Span.] Paico demonstrated a 100% success rate in killing Ancylostoma and Trichuris (roundworm) and a 50% kill rate for Ascaris. Other studies describe the process by which intestinal worms are paralyzed by Paico and eliminated from the digestive tract. Despite having a wide array of other properties, Paico's use as an vermicidal agent is still its most common medicinal use.
Dosage: Take two capsules, two times a day, or as otherwise directed by your practitioner.
Warnings & Contraindications: If you are going to use Paico internally as a vermifuge, use a tea product like the one that we sell. There is a small quantitative difference between the therapeutic dosage of the seed oil of this plant and its legal dosage. Drinking a tea made from the leaves, as we suggest, is the safest way to take it. It is also the way in which indigenous peoples traditionally ingest it, as well. If you take Paico as we prescribe, you will avoid overdosing, the symptoms of which include headache, dizziness, vomiting and convulsions.
Paico is an abortifacient. Never take this product during pregnancy, while trying to conceive, or while lactating (breast-feeding).
