Rongoa is a traditional Māori healing practice from New Zealand that utilizes native plants and natural resources. It encompasses a range of methods, including herbal remedies, massage, and spiritual healing, aimed at promoting physical and mental well-being. The knowledge of Rongoa has been passed down through generations, emphasizing the connection between people and nature. Practitioners of Rongoa often use specific plants, such as harakeke (flax) and manuka, for their medicinal properties. This holistic approach not only addresses physical ailments but also considers emotional and spiritual health, reflecting the Māori belief in the interconnectedness of all aspects of life.
