Wildcrafted Palo Guaco Bark (Mikania micrantha) is harvested by hand in the highland forests of Honduras and sun-dried under controlled conditions to preserve its phytochemical integrity. This species has been traditionally used in indigenous and mestizo herbal medicine for respiratory support, expectorant action, and as a bronchodilator.
Our bark is collected ethically, without chemical treatment, and processed following good manufacturing practices for export. We supply whole bark strips, rough cuts, or powder form, depending on client specifications.

Microfiltration:
Microfiltration is a type of physical filtration process where the water is passed through a special pore-sized membrane to separate microorganisms and suspended particles from process liquid.
Ultraviolet light(UV)
Is a purification method that uses short-wavelength ultraviolet (UV-C) light to kill or inactivate microorganisms by destroying nucleic acids and disrupting their DNA, leaving them unable to perform vital cellular functions.[1] UVGI is used in a variety of applications, such as food, air, and water purification.
Reverse osmosis
Is a water purification technology that uses a partially permeable membrane to remove ions, molecules and larger particles from drinking water. In reverse osmosis, an applied pressure is used to overcome osmotic pressure, a colligative property, that is driven by chemical potential differences of the solvent, a thermodynamic parameter. Reverse osmosis can remove many types of dissolved and suspended chemical species as well as biological ones (principally bacteria) from water, and is used in both industrial processes and the production of potable water. The result is that the solute is retained on the pressurized side of the membrane and the pure solvent is allowed to pass to the other side. To be "selective", this membrane should not allow large molecules or ions through the pores (holes), but should allow smaller components of the solution (such as solvent molecules, i.e., water, H2O)
Ozonization
Ozone is made by passing oxygen through ultraviolet light or a "cold" electrical discharge. To use ozone as a disinfectant, it must be created on-site and added to the water by bubble contact.
