Healing Effect: “The nectar from the flowers was collected by Māori and used in the treatment of sore throats. The honey made from this nectar is pale and sweet and honey produced from the pollen is white with a distinctive flavour. It has apparently caught the attention of Queen Elizabeth II, who it is said orders a batch of Pōhutukawa honey from Rangitoto Island every year.
Both Māori and Europeans used a decoction from the inner bark in the treatment of dysentery. Modern chemical analysis have validated this application – the bark being shown to contain ellagic acid which is used in diahorrea and dysentery treatments for its astringent properties.”
