[edit] Species and lapacho

I have a box of Tabebuia Impetiginosa purchased from a Chinese medicinal shop and labeled as "Lapacho". So name "lapacho" seems to be applied to more than one species.

-- Don't believe everything you read on the label: are you sure this shop got its facts right?

Also, from the side of the box is the following information;

Based on the reports of analysis conducted at the U.P. Natural Science Research Institute and the Merck Index, LMM Lapacho Herbal Tea chontains ; Lapachol 40.0 mg/g

[edit] added herbal thearpy info

hi, my name is paul and i added a portion to the text of the 4th paragraph. one thing i couldnt seem to get to work is the internal like for "gelatin Capsule" i think that this is best linked to:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Encapsulation_%28pharmacology%29

to help the reader understand more about the typical coatings of the pill

also i have "generic" dosage info (pill size, amt. / day... etc.) about the pill form but decided not to include just yet... what do u think?

also i was careful to add the info "in my own" words to avoid copyright junk ill check back here to see what u guys/gals said hopefully i added something of value and in no way intended to vandalize or crap on some one's elses work, heh -pauly
