Fresh batch of kawakawa balm. In New Zealand we use kawakawa leaves for a range of ailments, the leaves can be boiled to make tea to soothe bloating and stomach pain, it also regulates insulin. When made into balm it is used for eczema, dermatitis and wound care. We pick the leaves with the most caterpillar holes as they are the most potent.

No road access, 6km walk/horseback to reach our property. We are the only people who live here, we recently got wifi after 25 years without it. Where we live is called “te urewera”if anyone is interested 😊 btw we are not rich this took years of blood sweat and tears! It started as just a cheap kit set building which we got flown in by helicopter. A lot of the materials we either carried, used horses or floated down the river. It’s hard work to live this lifestyle but so worth it now the world is crazy 🤪 Also we trap/shoot possums for a living and sell the fur.
