Naturally Healing by Cathy is a tikanga and wairua-based botanical practice devoted to the sacred plant Taru Rauhea (Cannabis sativa). Each balm and infusion is carefully prepared with intention, reverence, and respect for the plant’s mauri.
These offerings are valued for their calming nature and their ability to support ease, comfort, and deep rest. Many people seek Taru Rauhea preparations when navigating long-term physical strain, heightened stress, or periods of profound health challenge, appreciating its gentle yet powerful support for the body’s natural rhythms.
From soothing topical balms to thoughtfully prepared liquid infusions, Naturally Healing works in harmony with the body — encouraging balance, relaxation, and restoration through mindful plant-based care.
New Zealand Herbals has been at the heart of natural medicine in Christchurch since 1995, founded by Michael McCammon — naturopath, herbalist, and iridologist with nearly five decades of clinical experience.
The clinic creates its own unique herbal formulae, blending ancient wisdom with modern science to produce remedies that are synergistic, preservative-free, and proven in long-term practice. From common ailments to chronic illness, their products are designed to work with the body's own healing intelligence rather than against it.
Come and explore the range, ask questions, and discover what nature has always known.
