Aciphylla polita

Aciphylla polita, also known as the New Zealand carrot or parsnip, is a perennial plant species native to New Zealand.

It has been traditionally used for its medicinal properties, particularly in treating digestive issues and respiratory problems, due to its high content of essential oils and flavonoids.

The health benefits of Aciphylla polita include its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, which can help to reduce swelling and improve overall well-being.

In herbal preparations, Aciphylla polita is often used in teas, infusions, and tinctures to take advantage of its medicinal properties, although more research is needed to confirm its effectiveness and safety for human consumption.
