THE SECRET OF ANCIENT PLANTS - HOROPITO

Horopito (Pseudowintera colorata), is one of the ancient plants that Māori people and early European settlers used for medicinal purposes.

Horopito contains a substance called sesquiterpene dialdehyde polygodiali, otherwise known as Polygodial, that has been tested and confirmed as an effective inhibitor of Candida albicans. Polygodial has many biological properties, including antifungal, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antiallergic, and insecticide effects.

Candida albicans commonly occur as the superficial infection on mucous membranes in the mouth or vagina. Based on the research, once in their lifetime, around 75% of women will suffer from vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) and about 90% of these infections are caused by Candida albicans. When women suffer from VVC, unwashed or poorly washed lingerie can be the perfect place for Candida albicans growth.
