Book - Maori Healing Remedies Book - Maori Healing Remedies

Book: Maori Healing Remedies
Rongoa Maori
by Murdoch Riley
Softcover, 81pp, Viking Sevenseas, 2018

This book explains how to use Maori herbal remedies to cure or alleviate some common medical problems. The methods are as quoted to the author by Maori users, so it must be noted that methods may have changed over time, or even be obsolete.  As with all medicines, be they pharmaceutical or herbal, care must be taken, and the writer,  publisher and ShopNZ accept no responsibility for any harm caused by trying to use these traditional remedies.

The medical conditions this book covers range from arthritis to bronchitis, chilblains to headaches, lactation to warts, and much, much more.  For each condition, there are usually several plant concoctions that were used.  So for instance, for burns and scalds there are remedies drawn from bracken fern, flax gum, karaka, or plantain.  Lots of options.  For each plant remedy, the instructions are detailed.

This book would be great for anyone wanting to take a natural approach to illness remedies, and anyone who goes into the bush regularly, be it for hunting or hiking.  One of these remedies might be just what they need if they fall ill or have an injury in the bush.
