Te Kōrero o Kawakawa me Tūpākihi

Kawakawa and Tūpākihi have long held significance within rongoā māori traditions and are valued for the unique qualities they bring to customary practice.

At Ānuku, our kawakawa leaves are carefully infused to capture the essence of this well-known taonga of the ngahere. Tūpākihi is gathered, prepared, and infused with great care and respect, acknowledging both its traditional importance and the knowledge required for its safe preparation.

Together, these rākau create a balm that honours the relationship between tāngata, te taiao, and the mātauranga passed down through generations.
