Complementary (alternative) Therapy
Complementary therapies are often used in addition to conventional cancer treatment to reinforce the immune system, relieve symptoms, and enhance the effectiveness of conventional therapies.
Rongoa Māori is a body of knowledge that takes a holistic view to wellbeing and treatment. In particular, it focuses on hinengaro (mind), wairua (soul), mauri (life essence), ngā atua (Gods) and te taiao (the environment).
There are many providers who are able to provide rongoā services. Your Māori health team at the hospital will be able to connect you with one nearest to where you live.
