  3. Respiratory issues: Tupakihi is used to relieve respiratory problems like bronchitis, asthma, and coughs, due to its expectorant properties.
  4. Digestive issues: It's used to treat digestive problems like diarrhea, constipation, and stomach cramps, due to its anti-inflammatory and antispasmodic properties.
  5. Menstrual relief: Tupakihi is used to ease menstrual cramps, bloating, and other symptoms associated with PMS.
  6. Antibacterial and antifungal: The plant has been shown to exhibit antibacterial and antifungal properties, making it effective against infections.
  7. Antioxidant: Tupakihi contains antioxidants, which help protect against cell damage and reduce oxidative stress.
  8. Insect repellent: The plant is said to repel insects, making it a natural insect repellent.
  9. Rheumatic fever: Tupakihi has been traditionally used to treat rheumatic fever, a condition that can cause permanent heart damage.
  10. Spiritual and cultural significance: In Māori culture, Tupakihi is considered a sacred plant, used in rituals and ceremonies for its spiritual significance and connection to the natural world.
Please note that while Tupakihi has been used in traditional Māori medicine for various purposes, its effectiveness for these uses has not been extensively scientifically studied. Consult a healthcare professional before using Tupakihi for medicinal purposes.
