Traditional plant medicine,

Handmade balms, tonics and teas drawn from a lineage of Tohunga — nourishing the connection between land, water, plants and people.

Our Story

A lineage of healing

I come from a lineage of Tohunga and have been raised in the deep teachings of the spiritual connection between the land, water, plants, and people — and how we nourish and heal one another. For as long as I can remember, I have been creating my own Rongoā formulations, carefully blending traditional knowledge with lived experience.

One of my most refined creations is the Skin Healing Balm. It took seven years to perfect, carefully marrying five powerful antibiotic plant medicines to address even the most stubborn skin conditions. This balm is further supported by an internal tonic made from the same ingredients, designed to work from the inside out and address the root cause of the imbalance.

My Muscle and Bone Pain Relief Balm is another highly sought-after product. Formulated with three natural pain-relieving plants and four antibiotic allies, it supports the healing of strained muscles, pulled tendons, and ligaments while delivering fast, noticeable relief.

Tataramoa is crafted to gently support restful sleep and to ease the challenges women face from menstrual discomfort through to the menopause transition.

The Cough and Chest Support Tea features kumarahou and kawakawa, supported by other antibiotic plant medicines — helping the body recover from flu and respiratory issues while supporting overall wellbeing.
