Wed, 30 Jan 2019 14:18:58 +0000/?p=313#comment-389483I have just found out that you can eat the kawakawa berries (didnt know berrys grew on kawakawa) (NOTE from Rae: best work with a qualified herbalist before taking this past) are edible but cannot have too many because they are a potent if the minerals found in the leaves. They are a good flusher of toxins in your digestive system. That plant is an awesome natural remedy for most skin and inner body illnesses. I watched on a t.v program with Havoc that was on 10 or so years ago call ‘are you my tribe?’ Or something like that. He was in Tuhoe country. He wasnt as welcomed into their district as he thought he would be. He was hanging with the Kuia of the marae. They were doing a day of māori rongoa. Havoc had a turn and they placed boiled kawakawa leaves on his puku and left them there for like 10-15 minutes. Giving him a chance to chat with the aunties and kuia. Them giving him a slight bit of greif. Then they revealed the out ome. Some of the leaves turned black. And the woman asked him a few medical history questions which where all true. Then one of them told havoc her diagnosis and what he need to. It was spot on with just those leaves and the colour the turn when absorbing the toxins.

Sun, 31 Dec 2017 02:56:32 +0000/?p=313#comment-354112Hmmm. Well, if you do a google you can find out what they look like. They are sometimes on the edges of rural roads, but you could probably get plants from garden centres and grow your own. Good luck.
