University of Auckland researchers have found more than 60 biologically active compounds in kawakawa leaves.
Aotearoa New Zealand scientists are proving the health effects of kawakawa, a plant revered as taonga and long used in Māori medicine, or rongoā.
In the latest paper, researchers from Waipapa Taumata Rau, University of Auckland, in partnership with hapū-owned Wakatū Incorporation from Te Tauihu at the north of Te Wai Pounamu, applied liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry to identify the active compounds in the endemic plant’s leaves.
