Kawakawa is New Zealand's native pepper tree. Kawakawa was traditionally used by Maori to treat skin disorders and to relieve swelling.
Commonly called the New Zealand Pepper tree, kawakawa is a traditional Maori medicine used for a variety of ailments, from kidney and bowel problems to toothache and swelling.
There is some interesting research going on in New Zealand regarding the properties of Kawakawa, as it contains an abundance and diverse range of active ingredients already used in Western medicine. One of those compounds is pellitorine, known to have a numbing effect, which possibly explains why it was used for pain relief. Pellitorine can also help to reduce inflammation.
Arnica is well known worldwide, used to heal bruises, sprains, joint pain, swelling, muscle aches, wounds and burns.
The Kawakawa and Arnica Balm also contains coconut oil, New Zealand beeswax, Cayenne, Tutu, Horopito, Shea Butter, Peppermint and Clove Essential Oils, and Akeake Flower Essence.
Tutu is a traditional poultice treatment for bruises and wounds.
Horopito has antiseptic and astringent properties.
The balm is successfully being used for insect bites, scrapes, eczema, cracked heels, and more.
