Kawakawa Calm: The Māori Secret to Natural Stress Relief

Stressed Out? Discover Natural Peace.

The year’s ending, holidays are coming, and you feel that familiar pressure — year-end deadlines, gift lists, and never-ending tasks. No surprise many Kiwis look up natural stress relief NZ to find balance.

But what if calm isn’t in a pill or new app — but grows in Aotearoa’s native woods?

Get to know Kawakawa — a strong plant cherished by Māori for ages. Called “the pharmacy of the forest“, people have used Kawakawa in rongoā Māori (traditional healing) for hundreds of years to relax the body, ease the mind, and bring back balance. Now, Atutahi has put that natural calm into fresh, health-focused drinks made right here in New Zealand.

The Tale of Kawakawa and How It Calms

You can spot Kawakawa (Macropiper excelsum) by its heart-shaped leaves and peppery smell. Māori healers used to make it into tea to reduce stress, help digestion, and quiet the nerves.

Science is now confirming what tradition has long known — research reveals that Kawakawa has active ingredients that promote relaxation, lessen inflammation, and help manage mild stress or anxiety.

Put , Kawakawa isn’t just tasty — it helps your body regain its natural balance.

Atutahi’s crew has combined this revered plant with tangy lemon and lime resulting in a drink that’s both refreshing and grounding. Each bottle is made with care for Māori customs mixing ancient wisdom with current wellness trends.
