What I think about harakeke

Harakeke is a the Maori word for flax. I think harakeke is an amazing native plant. The scientific name for harakeke is Phormium Tenax. You can use harakeke to make many things like a mat, basket, bag or a fan.

Did you know that harakeke can be used as a medicine? This is why this plant is amazing because it heals many sicknesses like a toothache, earache, boils, wounds and many other sicknesses.

I think I would prefer using harakeke as a medicine than the medicine we get from the doctors. Why do I think this? Harakeke is free and you can use it to heal different types of sicknesses.
