Ngā mihi ki a Io · With gratitude to Io, source of all life.
Hardworking Hands · Ringa Raupā
Ringa raupā means hands that have done the mahi. This bundle is for the farmers, carers, ringawera, kaumātua, mums and makers whose hands work hard for their whānau every day.
It's a simple end-of-day ritual of care: a moment to slow down and give back to the hands that give so much.
What's inside
-
Wild Mānuka Oil – East Coast. Wild-harvested East Coast Mānuka oil, independently lab-tested and naturally rich in beta-triketones. Massaged slowly into hands, knuckles and wrists, it soothes and comforts tired, hardworking hands and dry, rough skin.
-
Mānuka Travel Mist. A soft, fragrant Mānuka hydrosol to cool and refresh your hands, skin and space.
-
Gift-ready. Presented in our branded Whenua gift bag with our brochure and a Whenua bamboo spoon.
The ritual
- Mist your hands to cool and refresh.
- Warm 3–4 drops of Wild Mānuka Oil between your palms.
- Mirimiri slowly from your fingertips to your wrists, one hand at a time.
- Breathe, and give thanks for the mahi your hands have done today.
Blessed with karakia
Before they leave us, our oil and mist are blessed with karakia by Tohunganui (High Priestess) Elaine Hunia. We acknowledge the whakapapa of our plants, our people and our whenua on the East Coast of Aotearoa New Zealand.
