Ancient Wisdom Prevails
A True Understanding Of Our Environment
Lā‘au lapa‘au (medicinal plant treatment) is one of several traditional Hawaiian healing arts.
‘Ai pono (healthy eating), Ho‘oponopono (emotional/spiritual balance) & Lomilomi (massage therapy).
As with many traditional Hawaiian practices, Lā‘au lapa‘au requires a holistic approach of body, mind, and spirit for optimal healing results.
The knowledge of Lāʻau lapaʻau is shared by past generations that can be traced back over a thousand years.
Today the techniques and plant-based remedies are used by many as alternatives and complements to western medical approaches.

E hō mai i lāʻau, i lāʻau, i lāʻau lapaʻau, i lāʻau akua, He aʻa, he ‘ili, he lau, He liko, he pua, he hua ka lāʻau, ʻAi ka lāʻau! E ola!

Grant me herbs, medicinal herbs, herbs imbued by the gods,
The stem, the bark, the leaf, The new shoots, the flowers, the tuber or fruit
Take the medicine, the curing begins!
Pule La'au Lapa'au - Water
