ŌKU Kawakawa and Arnica balm 40gm
This is a premium warming and soothing herbal formula that is indicated for wherever there is pain, inflammation or trauma to muscles and joints.
The two stars of the blend that work incredibly well together are Wild-harvested Kawakawa and NZ Grown Arnica that both have wonderful anti-inflammatory properties. These are then blended with Wild & Hand harvested NZ Horopito and NZ Tutu with Cayenne. Together these herbs provide a broad range of properties to help amplify and complement the Kawakawa and Arnica. The herbs are supported with the analgesic qualities of Peppermint and Clove Essential oils and the NZ First Light essence remedy for Trauma Akeake. Together these ingredients create a powerful combination to effectively soothe inflammatory or painful conditions involving muscles and joints.

ŌKU’s unique formulas were developed by Scott Smith (a Medical Herbalist and Naturopath), and his wife Helen Paul-Smith of Tapuika & Ngaai Te Rangi descent. They have run ŌKU as a family business since 2010.
Utilising Maori Tikanga - ‘doing things the right way’ - helps guide their decision-making processes. They promote the growing and sustainability of NZ native plants and as they continue to grow are committed to contributing to land restoration and planting projects of the native flora and fauna.
ŌKU donates a portion of the profits of every product sold to trusts specifically set up for this purpose as well as their own many planting/restoration projects where they have themselves planted 1,000’s of natives since beginning this hīkoi (journey).
As ŌKU continues to grow Scott & Helen are both fully committed to continue this work and see more whenua (land) restored back into our incredible native forests.
