False 2/10
“Kūmarahou (Pomaderris kumeraho) does not kill bacteria and is not an antibacterial agent.”
The evidence does not support a blanket denial of antibacterial activity. Peer-reviewed lab studies found kūmarahou extracts inhibited at least two human pathogens, S. aureus and B. cereus, which qualifies as antibacterial activity under standard testing. Evidence for broad bactericidal effects or clinical benefit is more limited, but that caveat does not rescue the claim’s absolute wording.

True 9/10
“Kūmarahou does not have universally agreed dosage guidelines.”
The evidence supports the claim. Authoritative regulatory and scientific sources do not show any globally or broadly standardized dosage guideline for kūmarahou, while available dosing advice varies across traditional, practitioner, and commercial sources. Some guidance exists, but it is local and non-universal rather than a single agreed standard.
