Horopito has a rich history of medicinal use by New Zealand’s indigenous Māori. It was used for a wide range of ailments including fungal skin diseases, venereal diseases, toothache, and stomach complaints. Due to its painkilling properties, Horopito is honoured with the name “Māori painkiller”. European settlers also recognised the healing properties of Horopito using it in a medicine to treat “stomach sickness”. Given its importance in New Zealand’s early medicinal practice, it is not surprising that researchers wanted to learn more about this fascinating herb. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62bbb183eb5f545584c9dcbc/3204236e-b3f8-428f-813c-16c3ac9810c5/shutterstock_1090273655.jpg Horopito - Modern Day Use of Horopito. Science has revealed the secrets behind Horopito’s healing powers which include antifungal, antibacterial, and anti-viral properties. Horopito is the hero in natural healthcare products that treat conditions such as vaginal thrush, jock itch, athlete’s foot, candida and other digestive imbalances. Horopito has a shining reputation globally for providing fast, effective and natural relief from fungal overgrowth.

Forest Herbs Research is the only company in the world to have its own Horopito plantation. The plantation is nestled at the top of New Zealand’s South Island, where it is surrounded by pristine native forest. The growing conditions are completely unique, providing all the elements Horopito needs to thrive. The farm is planted with proprietary strains of Horopito that were selected for their high level of polygodial (the active in Horopito). Each step of the supply chain is tightly managed to ensure freshness, quality, and potency from farm to customer. The passion for plants extends to protecting the environment where eco-friendly, sustainable farming techniques are used. Added to this commercially grown Horopito also protects wild populations as wild harvesting can endanger sensitive forest eco-systems. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62bbb183eb5f545584c9dcbc/d5432317-79c5-43b9-9329-184a07d00fa1/PNG.+new+horopito+logo.png Horopito - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://horopito.co.nz/candida daily 0.75 2022-09-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62bbb183eb5f545584c9dcbc/5225a438-bde5-4b10-8fcf-64a53d14bc8d/shutterstock_1199648146.jpg Candida - What is Candida? Candida is the name for a group of yeasts (a yeast is a type of fungus), that commonly infect the skin and mucus membranes. A candida infection is known as candidiasis, candidosis or thrush. Candida is a normal part of the human digestive tract and gut microbiome, where most of the time it lives without causing any problems. When someone is in full health, the natural balance of healthy bacteria in our gut keeps Candida under control. However, if a person’s defences are lowered, Candida can cause infection of the mucosa – the lining of the vagina, anus or mouth, digestive system or the skin. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62bbb183eb5f545584c9dcbc/d1296ead-f85b-4905-9df0-052199147207/shutterstock_1164101806.jpg Candida - Candida Overgrowth Factors that make someone more likely to get a candida infection include infancy or old age, warm climate, non-breathable clothing (nappies, synthetic underwear), high estrogen, diabetes, broad-­spectrum antibiotic treatment, and general debility (i.e. malnutrition or immunodeficiency). Candida infections can occur in the mouth (oral thrush), genitals (vulvovaginal candidiasis), on babies from wearing nappies (nappy rash), in the nail plate (onychomycosis), and on the skin – for example in folds of skin that can be moist and warm like under the breasts, arm’s, folds of skin and between toes. Vaginal thrush is a significant problem with 75% of women experiencing at least one bout of vaginal thrush in their lifetime. Worldwide, recurrent thrush affects about 138 million women annually.¹ Horopito offers a fast, effective and natural solution to fungal overgrowth. A webinar for practitioners about Horopito as a novel therapy for Candida overgrowth can be viewed using the link below. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62bbb183eb5f545584c9dcbc/520249c3-3256-488d-a194-74b9700b7912/Horopito-4326.jpg Candida - Horopito - a treatment for Vaginal Thrush Two clinical studies have shown that Horopito extract taken orally is effective as a natural treatment for recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis (RVVC). In a 2011 study, 82 women with a history of RVVC were enrolled.² The women were randomly assigned to receive either a pharmaceutical (Itraconazole), or a Horopito extract. In a second clinical study,³ 122 women with a history of RVVC were enrolled and were randomly assigned to either an itraconazole treatment group or a Horopito treatment group. In both clinical trials, the rate of “mycological cure” was comparable between the two groups, meaning Horopito was just as effective as Itraconazole. More information on these studies can be found Research summary: Horopito for Vulvovaginal Candidiasis https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62bbb183eb5f545584c9dcbc/3f318397-6974-482c-ae55-bfe734514e29/R%26D+image+1.jpg Candida - Long Term Antifungal Benefits Horopito offers benefits above and beyond the standard pharmaceuticals. In the two clinical trials mentioned in the previous section, after the treatment had stopped, those who had been taking Horopito had fewer recurrent bouts (relapses), than those women who had been taking the standard pharmaceutical treatment. Horopito also reduces the development of fungi that are resistant to drugs. These so called ‘azole-resistant’ fungal species are much harder to kill with antifungal treatments and this can cause long term resistance whereby fungal conditions become harder and harder to treat. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62bbb183eb5f545584c9dcbc/73292908-7020-4ab6-ae60-7dd3ef00c601/Polygodial+structure-MW.jpg Candida - The Importance of Polygodial The main active constituent of Horopito is the sesquiterpene dialdehyde, polygodial.⁴ Polygodial exhibits significant fungicidal activity, especially against Candida albicans.⁵ ⁶ Therefore when using Horopito for management of candida overgrowth it is important to choose Horopito that has been tested independently for polygodial activity. There are a range of Horopito products available to help support and manage candida overgrowth including herbal supplements, creams and washes. https://horopito.co.nz/gallery daily 0.75 2022-06-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62bbb183eb5f545584c9dcbc/550bc036-0f7b-4149-a5ac-be9b7e9fcff3/210629-horopito-2.jpg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62bbb183eb5f545584c9dcbc/99ad0811-da13-4a13-8ca8-b17eeac969f0/201018_PB_Hunt%2Bof%2BHoropito.jpg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62bbb183eb5f545584c9dcbc/91410eae-9eac-415c-a8e3-27a9c32aabfa/sunset%2B-%2BHoropito%2Bfarm.jpg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62bbb183eb5f545584c9dcbc/fbaba01f-016d-46a8-bd32-1194a27f0669/Knowledge_Horopito%2Bblog.jpg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62bbb183eb5f545584c9dcbc/663dd62d-915b-4179-8713-6b2838a52b8d/Resized%2B978kB%2BHoropito%2B-015.jpg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62bbb183eb5f545584c9dcbc/5c66b38c-c250-4903-97eb-f6dfa7ddfee9/IMG_6616.JPG Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62bbb183eb5f545584c9dcbc/1e491aab-9e04-47ed-9712-4c624d12c677/Harvesting2.jpg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62bbb183eb5f545584c9dcbc/dfd9c334-7b20-4ffb-9bb4-d33af60cb350/Basket.jpg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62bbb183eb5f545584c9dcbc/46a7bd7e-5ec6-4cc0-8c48-e91749788b71/%21IMG_7837.jpg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62bbb183eb5f545584c9dcbc/95932493-5b38-4e11-80cb-53bf1c4e5297/R%26D+image+1.jpg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62bbb183eb5f545584c9dcbc/0cbe2814-39a3-404d-aa88-d452866fbc91/Peter%2Bin%2Bfarm.jpg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62bbb183eb5f545584c9dcbc/25851f89-fff2-47c7-88ec-c1af35c134cc/pb-4.jpg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62bbb183eb5f545584c9dcbc/eec9d71d-e85e-4949-a0ae-3b2a56454e1b/Horopito%2B%25282%2529.jpg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62bbb183eb5f545584c9dcbc/0d97722f-f45b-4c0b-afdf-c905dd2697d1/horopito%2Bfarm.jpg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62bbb183eb5f545584c9dcbc/afb8263d-8209-4677-a645-ba2a9efb363f/Horopito-4326.jpg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62bbb183eb5f545584c9dcbc/fc41d657-dd67-4384-9ed7-a56407a5789f/Protecting+baby+horopito.JPG Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62bbb183eb5f545584c9dcbc/1657319439836-ZN10XH9VQTNI878OC7SZ/R%2526D%2Bimage%2B3.jpg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62bbb183eb5f545584c9dcbc/9b165d81-390f-4136-8866-168a9d88298c/2%2BSTEMS.jpg Gallery https://horopito.co.nz/take-action daily 0.75 2022-08-28
