Although the Māori made textiles from a number of other plants, the use of harakeke and wharariki was predominant.

For centuries, Māori have used Harakeke for medicinal purposes, as a mild anaesthetic, poultice for boils, tumours, as well as to varicose ulcers. It also use as disinfectant and abscesses, relieve constipation, expel worms.
