Pouteria endlicheri

Pouteria endlicheri, also known as the Koa or Koa tree, is a species of plant in the family Sapotaceae, native to the tropical forests of the Pacific Islands, particularly in Hawaii and other parts of Polynesia.

The bark and leaves of this plant have been used in traditional medicine for their medicinal properties, which include anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial effects.

The Koa tree is said to have various health benefits, such as reducing fever, relieving respiratory issues, and providing antioxidant properties.

In herbal preparations, the bark and leaves can be made into teas, tinctures, or infusions to harness its medicinal properties, although more research is needed to confirm its effectiveness and safety.
