Hastings Grandmother Reclaims Her Garden After Years of Letting It “Go Wild”

Sue spent three years watching her beloved Hastings garden slowly turn into what she calls “a beautiful mess” – not by choice, but because kneeling had become her enemy.

The 66-year-old retiree had gradually surrendered tasks she once loved. First went the weeding. Then the planting. By last year, she was directing operations from a chair while her husband did his best with the spade.

“I’d always been the gardener in our family,” Sue explains from her now-immaculate vegetable patch ready for spring planting. “My husband jokes he has black thumbs. But there I was, pointing and instructing like some sort of garden general who couldn’t get into the trenches.”

The frustration peaked when her three grandchildren visited last year.

“They wanted to plant strawberries with Nana. I had to sit on a stool and supervise. My 5-year-old granddaughter asked why I couldn’t get down with them. That hurt more than my knees ever did.”

Sue had tried various remedies over the years – heat packs, anti-inflammatory gels, even expensive treatments. “Nothing quite worked. Some helped a bit, but I’d given up on getting back to proper gardening.”

That changed when a friend mentioned Koru FX. “She raved about this natural cream made down in Christchurch. Said it was the only thing that helped her tennis elbow.”

Sceptical but desperate, Sue picked up a bottle from her local Life pharmacy. “I figured I’d tried everything else. What was one more cream?”

She applied it morning and night to her troublesome knees and lower back. “The first thing I noticed was it didn’t smell medicinal. Just a nice peppermint scent. And it absorbed quickly – not greasy like others I’d tried. It felt good after just a few minutes but I wasn’t so sure.”

Within a week, Sue noticed something remarkable. “I was deadheading roses and realised I’d been bending for five minutes without thinking about it. That hadn’t happened in years.”

Two weeks later came the real test. “The grandkids were visiting again. My granddaughter asked if we could plant some spring vegetables. I said yes without thinking, then panicked. But you know what? I managed 40 minutes in the garden with them. Proper gardening – on my knees in the dirt.”

The improvement has been steady since. Sue’s garden, once showing signs of neglect, is now thriving again. “My husband’s relieved he’s been demoted from head gardener,” she laughs. “Though he still helps with the heavy lifting.”

Her morning routine now includes tending to her vegetables in the Hawke’s Bay sun. “I apply the cream first thing, then I’m good for hours. It’s given me my independence back.”

When asked what she’d tell others in similar situations, Sue doesn’t hesitate. “Don’t accept that this is just how things are now. I spent three years thinking my gardening days were over. You don’t know unless you give it a go.”

She pauses at her garden gate, surveying rows of thriving silverbeet and spring onions. “My physio says staying active is the best thing for me. Thanks to Koru FX, I can actually do that now.”

Sue joins over 52,652 New Zealanders who’ve found relief with the New Zealand-made cream since its launch.

But how is it possible for a little unknown Kiwi cream to be building such a quiet following?

The secret is in Koru FX’s unique formula, unlike anything else currently available.

It harnesses 16 natural oils. Black pepper, nutmeg and rosemary widen surface vessels so nutrients can pass through the dermal layer; peppermint, eucalyptus and mānuka trigger a rapid cooling of over-excited nerve endings; antioxidants such as calendula and chamomile then flood joints with polyphenols for hours of comfort.

The approach is based on Nobel-winning science by American biochemist David Julius, who showed that botanical compounds like peppermint can modulate temperature-sensing nerve channels that influence pain signalling.

By working with our bodies built in signalling system, the makers of Koru FX have been able to deliver the fast-acting, long-lasting comfort people are looking for – but without all the nasties.

Professional sports trainer Ricki Jacobs says this sort of joint and muscle relief often delivers wider benefits too. “When people can move without fearing a flare-up, their confidence, social life and even sleep rebound just as quickly,” he notes.

“I spent years thinking natural meant weak,” Graham admits. “Turns out these Kiwi-made formulas do the trick though. It’s let me actually live my retirement instead of just surviving it.”

Koru Nutrition, the Christchurch company behind the product, offers a 60-day money-back guarantee acknowledging that everyone is unique and has different challenges when it comes to joint health.

“I think it’s really important people can try Koru FX for themselves with the peace of mind of 60-days to give it a really good go.”

“There’s no such thing as a silver-bullet but this way people can know if it works for them just as it has for thousands of others,” says André Linton, Managing Director of Koru Nutrition.

For those who want to give it a try, Koru Nutrition are offering readers discounts of up to 40 per cent.

Graham insists he’s already taken advantage of the offer saying, “I’ve got no intention of spending my retirement on the couch.”

What makes Koru FX #1 for Joint Relief?

What makes Koru FX so effective is its unique blend of 16 essential oils and plant extracts, carefully selected to work together in perfect synergy. Ingredients like peppermint and eucalyptus provide deep, antioxidant support, while nutmeg and black pepper extract supercharges the absorption process. These key elements help dilate the skin, allowing the soothing nutrients to penetrate faster and reach the joints where they’re needed most.

Deep Absorption

Fast-Acting Comfort

Long-Lasting Support

This advanced absorption technique was first discovered by David Julius, an American biochemist, who won a Nobel Prize in 2021 for his groundbreaking research on how the body perceives pain. Koru Nutrition has since applied his findings to develop New Zealand’s most effective natural joint relief cream.

It’s this fast-acting, deeply penetrating formula that turned Graham from a sceptic into believer – and why thousands of Kiwis trust Koru FX every single day.
