Aotearoa (New Zealand), has a wealth of native plants that have a rich history of traditional use where they were used in many different ways to help maintain or support ora (wellbeing). ŌKU was formed out of the desire to harness many of these plants into a product range that can help people rediscover and experience the amazing properties held within our ngahere (forests).
Our Kaupapa (Purpose)
-
To help promote the importance of the healing properties of NZ Native plants and to help people discover the stories they have to share and tell.
-
The importance of making every effort to reduce our footprint on the whenua (land).
-
The importance of creating a circular economy within the business that ensures the business is a good kaitiaki (custodian) and returns appropriately to the whenua.

OUR HERBS
All of ŌKU’s formulas are designed to show off the amazing properties of the rākau (plants) found within our ngahere (forests). Many of these have a rich history of traditional use. While Kawakawa is certainly one of our favourites we also use many other natives as well as more traditional herbs to support and amplify the properties of our formulas.
