Kiwikitz recommends the following for further information and is valuable reading 

The native plant tonics have been studied in depth by Murdock Riley who wrote 'Maori Healing & Herbal New Zealand Ethnobotanical Sourcebook' (1994).  This textbook in Part 1 Maori Healing & Health Topics, describes traditional use of indigenous plants and Part 2 Maori Herbal remedies, describes in detail the individual plant benefits.
 
'New Zealand Medicinal Plants' by Brooker, Cambie, Cooper (1981), reviews the question of the use made by maori, missionaries and earlier settlers, of native plants for specific purposes and examine the chemical constituents found in these plants, likely to be of value.  This book has over 400 references which can be consulted for further study originally being produced in 1961.
