Herbal Highlight: Mānuka

In this episode, Phytomed’s naturopath and medical herbalist, Sharlene Bennett, and Phytomed’s founder, pharmacist and medical herbalist, Phil Rasmussen, discuss the amazing properties of our New Zealand native herb Mānuka and its abundant clinical applications.

Mānuka is known for its powerful anti-fungal and antimicrobial ability. It is also highly valued for its antiseptic qualities to support skin repair and recovery.  This podcast delves deeper into the possible anxiolytic, anti-inflammatory and antispasmodic actions for gut care. Also, whether it’s a possible candidate for IBS or IBD. We also touch on the difference between Mānuka and Kānuka and some of the latest research.
