A There is an age-old practice of harvesting plants and herbs in their natural environment for use as medicines. And today there is huge potential for New Zealand to develop a herb industry based on the excellent growing conditions and expertise there, according to Phil Rasmussen, a pharmacist and medical herbalist. Take arnica for example, a popular pharmaceutical herb used to treat bruises and joint problems, Traditionally collected by Romany communities in Europe, it is now in high demand worldwide as interest develops in the capabilities of the small alpine plant.
B The history of herbal medicines in New Zealand has long featured disagreements of this sort. For the early Maori people - the original inhabitants of New Zealand - the forest was well stocked with edible plants that were an obvious source of nutrition, but that were taken for the relief of pain as well, While the earliest European doctors in New Zealand relied on imported dried herbs, many were keen to include native plants in their practices: in his book published in 1891, herbalist James Neil described Manuka and koromiko as among New Zealand's most valuable herbs.
C In fact, traditional Maori medicine faced a more determined challenge. in 1908 the government passed a controversial law that had the effect of restricting traditional herbal practice, or pushing it underground. Then for a brief period in the mid-20thcentury, herbal medicine was largely ignored, shunned by the majority of the medical profession, and absent from medical school curricula. But a centuries-old tradition was not going to disappear so easily, and in the 1980s the NZAMH was revived, and it became possible to complete a course in herbal medicine at several polytechnics around the country.
