What is Rongoaa?

Rongoaa is another name for medicine traditionally used by Maaori since the migration from Hawaikii, in the Pacific Islands many generations ago.

When Maaori settled here Pre-European times and  used the plants and trees not only as a source of food but to heal and fight off sickness with their healing qualities.

One of the most widely used is Rongoaa from the Kawakawa plant, nick named 'Pharmacy of the Forest' in scientific terms it's known as

Macropiper Excelsum. This rongoaa has a Whakapapa directly to Io our creator, so when harvesting we thank Io and Tane for providing through karakia.

There are many more, and therapies of the natural surroundings (Te Taiao); Our relationships with them and health benefits in the modern world we live in today. We largely concentrate on uses with Kawakawa playing a big part in many lives.

Mirimiri/Romiromi also incorporated to bring all the senses together in one. Our hauora/Pharmacy has a selection of traditional rongoaa to suit each individual. There are many ways to recieve the holistic benefits through what we do. Browse through our online shop. Ngaa mihi.
