Kiwiherb
Our Story
Kiwiherb is a New Zealand based company, producing a unique range of herbal formulations at our specialised manufacturing plant in Auckland. Kiwiherb was formed in 2000 when founder, Phil Rasmussen, recognised the need for premium quality, 100% natural herbal health products to be readily available to everyone.
Each Kiwiherb product has been expertly formulated by Phil and our qualified and experienced team, combining the wisdom of traditional herbal medicine with the validation of modern research.
Naturally New Zealand
New Zealand is famous for its unpolluted 'clean green' environment, and we are fortunate to be able to source most of our herbs from local organic growers, thus maximising the purity and potency of our products. These include Echinacea & Manuka Honey (cornerstone ingredients of the Kiwiherb range), Dandelion and Marshmallow.
New Zealand is also renowned for its incredibly diverse range of plant-life, with many of these plants used by traditional Maori healers to treat ill health. The Kiwiherb range is unique in embracing the wisdom of Rongoa (Maori herbal medicine) with the inclusion of sustainably sourced New Zealand native herbs carefully selected for their time-honoured traditional medicinal uses.
We ensure these plants are wildcrafted (collected from their natural environment) in a sustainable and ethically sound manner. These plants (Kawakawa, Horopito, Manuka, Tanekaha, Hoheria, Koromiko, Poroporo and Totara) have long been valued for their therapeutic actions and add unique healing properties to many Kiwiherb products.
