Te Ao Rauropi Rongoā Māori research project

“Rongoā isn’t a list of things you do; it’s a way of living and belonging to the world.”

Te Ao Rauropi

Rongoā Māori is a dynamic and intricate system of healing which, when practiced fully, supports not only the restoration and wellbeing of people but also the environment in which we live.

Explore this website to discover some of our emerging findings, our Tū Mai Rongoā Māori research symposium and other outputs which are contributing to the movement of Rongoā Māori in Aotearoa New Zealand.

By shifting the growing body of work of Rongoā Māori to be recognised as a philosophy and shifting away from the discourse of Rongoā as a plant-based medicine, we can develop evidence-based practice and advocate for the uptake of Rongoā in health services to ensure an equity of service provision for Māori and all New Zealanders.
