LAPACHOL
The main substance of the bark, which gives it an antibacterial effect. It is located in the inner layer of the cortex, prevents the growth and reproduction of gram-positive (staphylococci, streptococci) and gram-negative (brucella) microorganisms.
The antiviral activity of the bark is due to the ability of lapachol to inhibit the production of enzymes, without which viruses cannot reproduce. The bark of the ant tree is active against flu viruses, herpes, ARVI, etc.
Antifungal properties are associated with the presence of xyloidine in the cortex, which, together with lapachol, inhibits the growth of many types of fungi, including vaginal fungi (candida, trichophyton). Even the wood of the ant tree is extremely resistant to the effects of various fungi: no fungi ever grow on the trunk of the ant tree.
