Kawakawa

The bright green heart-shaped leaves of (Macropiper exelsum) are a distinctive presence in the New Zealand bush, and Kawakawa’s medicinal properties are equally distinctive. Traditionally used by Maori not only as a medicine but also as a significant part of many ceremonies, Kawakawa is an important part of both the physical and spiritual worlds and revered for its innate power.

Some of the keys of Kawakawa are:

Reduces inflammation and irritation

Reduces cramping, spasm, bloating and digestive pain

Anti-microbial

Improves circulation

Reducing inflammation and irritation, Kawakawa is useful both internally and externally. Used internally it can be useful for inflammatory conditions of the digestive tract, as well as joint inflammation or arthritis. Used topically (on the skin), it can reduce the inflammation of common skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis and skin rashes.

As an anti-microbial herb, Kawakawa has the capacity to kill bugs, making it a wonderful aid for treating any infections, internally or externally. This makes it useful for coughs and colds, but equally for skin conditions that tend to infection and why is a great first line defence.

Kawakawa is known as the ‘pepper tree’, not to be confused with horopito, which is also sometimes called ‘pepper tree’. The spiciness of both plants can’t be missed when the leaves are chewed, but whereas Horopito is HOT like cayenne, Kawakawa has a minty fresh peppery taste that is quite different and rather delicious. This heat makes Kawakawa a wonderful aid to circulation, and a useful ally for anyone who suffers from poor circulation or cold hands and feet. This makes it ideal for winter in colder climates, and has been used with much success for the treatment of chilblains.

And this is just a tiny taste of what Kawakawa is capable of! Like many of our New Zealand native plants, Kawakawa is entirely unique and a powerful addition to our herbal pharmacy
