YOU

You - our customer - are at the heart of everything we do at Natures Therapeutics. Understanding your needs, expectations, and desire for high-quality, trustworthy products drives us each day to do better. We value accessibility and believe communication should be clear, responsive, and uncomplicated. That’s why, although we are a small business, we continually look to improve our systems and technology that make engaging with us easy, efficient, and transparent.

Your feedback shapes our direction. Your values influence our standards. Staying connected to the people who use our products ensures we remain relevant, responsive, and aligned with the trends you create.

THE COMPANY

Natures Therapeutics Limited™ is operated, under licence, by Medicorp New Zealand Limited. We are a Māori-connected health and personal-care product manufacturer and supplier, proudly based in Whangārei, Aotearoa New Zealand.

All manufacturing and/or packaging is undertaken at our Whangārei facility, allowing us to maintain full oversight of quality, consistency, and integrity — from sourcing and formulation through to finished product. This end-to-end control ensures our customers receive products that meet strict quality expectations while remaining true to our values of transparency, care, and authenticity.

THE WHY ELEMENT

We entered this market with a clear purpose: to offer time-proven, value-driven products inspired by generations of knowledge.

Aotearoa New Zealand is home to unique native plants found nowhere else on Earth. For centuries, Māori have relied on these plants — alongside pristine spring water — to support health, balance, and wellbeing. These practices, known as rongoā Māori, represent a holistic approach that considers the interconnectedness of people, nature, and spirit.

We are honoured to share products that respectfully draw from this ancient knowledge, while blending it with modern manufacturing standards — bringing tradition and innovation together in a way that is relevant for today.

THE CULTURAL ELEMENT

Before commencing operations, we engaged with our local kaumātua — a critical and deliberate step in our journey.

Our founder descends from Te Parawhau, a hapū of Ngāpuhi, and our facility is located within the Te Parawhau rohe. Acknowledging this connection, we sought guidance to ensure cultural values, tikanga, and significances were respected and upheld — not compromised.

These kōrero (conversations) formed the foundation of how we operate today. Through shared understanding and agreement on tikanga, we were privileged to receive the support of our kaumātua. The blessing of our facility by Te Parawhau kaumātua, Pereri Tito, on Saturday 11 July 2020, marked an important milestone and remains a cornerstone of our identity

OUR MISSION

Success is often lost through over-complication.

Our mission at Natures Therapeutics is simple: to exceed expectations.

We achieve this by keeping our approach clear, honest, and purposeful — without compromising on value, quality, or service. We proudly integrate Māori values alongside robust western business disciplines, creating an operation that is both culturally grounded and commercially sound.

OUR VISION

If our vision could be expressed in one word, it would be the Māori concept of manaakitanga.

While manaakitanga carries many layers of meaning, it is best understood as care — care for people, care for relationships, care for place, and care for purpose.

Our vision is to grow with care at our core:
You care for me, I care for you, we care for them, and they care for us.

We look forward to sharing our product range throughout Aotearoa New Zealand and Australia, growing together through relationships built on trust, respect, and a genuine culture of care
