Lily™, Phormium tenax |
|
| Phormium tenax was used extensively for medicinal purposes. Boiled and
crushed roots are applied externally as a poultice for boils, tumors and
abscesses, as well as to varicose ulcers. Juice from the pounded roots can be
generally used as a disinfectant, and taken internally to relieve constipation
or expel worms. It has also been applied to bullet or bayonet wounds. The sticky
sap contains enzymes that give it blood clotting and antiseptic qualities to
help healing processes. M?ori are fully aware of its curative properties and
that it is a mild anesthetic. They applied the sap to boils and various wounds,
to aching teeth, to rheumatic and associated pains, ringworm and various skin
irritations, and scalds and burns. Leaves were used as dressings for wounds.
Today it is used in soaps and shampoos, and in cosmetics. Research into modern
medicinal and cosmetic uses is currently
underway. |
