Traditional & Historical Information: 

The Kanuka is a tall native tree from New Zealand in the same family as Tea Tree and Manuka. The Maori and early settlers of New Zealand used Kanuka to treat dysentery and diarrhoea and it has been reported as beneficial for urinary infections, reducing fever and respiratory complaints. It has also long been used to treat wounds and help heal skin complaints and is reported to have anti-inflammatory, antibiotic, antiseptic, anti-viral and antifungal properties that validate its use as an all round healer.
