Maori healing

Maori healing integrates physical, spiritual, and emotional wellbeing through traditional practices rooted in Maori culture. It often involves whānau (family) support, spiritual guidance from tohunga (healers), and ceremonies such as karakia (prayers) to invoke spiritual protection and balance. Healing methods may include herbal remedies, massage (miri miri), and rituals that connect individuals with ancestors and nature. This holistic approach emphasizes harmony between mind, body, and spirit, recognizing that health is interconnected with cultural identity and spiritual connections. Maori healing aims to restore overall harmony and wellbeing, respecting cultural traditions and spiritual beliefs.
