Medicinal properties of k
Hebe stricta - restores normal bowl function very quickly ,most cases over night.

1 for the deer food list is Mahoe . Deer go crazy on it after the roar & at other times of year .Seems there is something in it they need after ,weather a tonic or a mineral /trace element in it.

Might want to add Koromiko & Manuka to the medical list .
