Chest Rub
Chest Rub – Natural Rongoā Māori Congestion Relief
Chest Rub is a soothing balm crafted with kānuka (Kunzea spp.), hemp seed oil, cajuput, peppermint plant extracts, and NZ beeswax. Traditionally used in rongoā Māori, kānuka is known for its anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antimicrobial, and calming properties.
Massage this rub into the chest, upper back, or soles of the feet to help relieve congestion. For deeper support, it can also be mixed with boiling water to create a natural steam inhalation. Gentle, effective, and naturally made, this chest rub provides comfort during seasonal coughs and colds.
