Rongoa Māori - Medicine of the Māori world

Long before the arrival of pharmaceutical medications, Māori in Aotearoa were successfully treating a diverse range of ailments using plants from their natural surroundings. Many of these plants still exist and can be planted in our own gardens creating easy access to a dynamic and organic natural resource. The books listed outline examples of traditional Māori medicinal uses of the trees and shrubs of Aotearoa. Our national taonga.
