Rongoā Mauri Healing

07/04/2026

If someone is on medication and they want rongoā there’s a lot to consider especially if the rongoā is going to compromise their situation. Keeping safe is paramount. There are other ways of healing and supporting physical ailments and I certainly suggest them with my clients To be guided by someone to gently go to the source of the condition and heal the trauma or experience, is rongoā. You can immerse yourself in the mauri of plants, without ingesting, and it will reveal to you what lies heavy. Once you see it sometimes thats all that needs to happen.

A Sentinel of Fire: Māpou supports the blood to move freely. It supports circulation and vascular health assisting the body to maintain clear pathways. Māpou also supports lowering cholesterol. I like to infuse Māpou in an oil and then use it to mirimiri into the skin. Nice and gentle for people who have vascular issues as it can strengthen capillary walls especially nice for massaging lower legs. Once the body responds well to the māpou oil, then we might look at a māpou wairākau. Im always observing a client closely when it comes to using rongoā for the heart. After the physical tinana feels supported, we look at the source of the issue. The heart suffers and this always needs to be addressed for healing. #

I planted these Kūmarahou six months ago and I’ve just done my first harvest. The leaves are vibrant at this time of year. Perfect timing for this transitional period as we move into a new season. It’s a busy time of the month with cosmic events such as equinox and eclipses occurring. We are in a transitional period as we move into a new season. This can have a shift on the body if we’re not prepared for it. It’s a good time to strengthen the immune system and prepare it for the cooler weather coming. Kūmarahou is a wonderful rongoā to drink during a transitional phase because of its bitterness. It supports digestion and will help detox the body and release mucus from the lungs. It wakes the body and gives it a gentle wiri, vibrational nourishment. I harvest in small batches. If this kōrero resonates for you, it is now available through our online store as a tincture or tea. www.rongoamauri.com

HOUHERE ~ I'm finally seeing an abundance of bees and other insects. Is this why you flowered so early in my garden?

I noticed my houhere flowering earlier than expected this year, and prolifically. Trees respond to conditions. Light, moisture, warmth, and subtle environmental shifts all play a part in when a plant chooses to flower.

Early flowering has long been read as a tohu, not a prediction, but a signal inviting us to observe more closely. Sometimes a tree offers nourishment early to support life ahead of change. There is information in the abundance of bloom. A bundle of light codes from the sun that we can tune into.

Talking about the sun, we have been having a considerable amount of solar flares recently and they can have a profound affect on our body. If you have been feeling tired and not sure why, check to see if there has been a solar flare. M class, X class and CME flares are the main ones that I can feel in my body. They can also cause havoc on technology, slow wifi etc. Salt baths(seawater is better), being in the ngahere to recalibrate will minimise the effects.

Please feel free to share your experiences.

Searching for a plant is exciting. The frequency is high with anticipation. When the kaupapa is set and the karanga is in motion you can feel the taiao calling, like a magnet. Surrender to Nature and allow it to draw you to it. All internal chatter ceases, heart is open and spiritual senses are heightened. Love this feeling. You can feel the pull of the kaupapa when you’re silent. And then you feel the mauri change when you’re near. I am a child in awe of the magic of Nature.
