Zingiber officinale (better known as ginger,) is the root of a plant cultivated in the West Indies, Jamaica, and Africa but native to Asia. Ginger was introduced to Spain by Francisco de Mendosa in the early 1500's (and eventually to the new world) but it was in demand in the far east long before that. Its safe nature and multitude of benefits have made it one of the most widely used herbs in the world.

Pau D'Arco - Pau D Arco Herb History and Uses
It was toted as a miracle drug until the 1970's. The reason pau d'arco (pronounced powdy arco) reached such fame was because of the work of Dr. Theodore Meyer.
