Maori in earlier times knew abou the therapeutic benefits derived from trees and plants for a variety of health problems, but had no knowledge of pharmacology. Consequently, \u003ci\u003eTe Rongoa Maori\u003c\/i\u003e makes no claims to being a manual of Maori medicine. However, it comprises an important and faithful record of information gleaned over a lifetime's close association with the Ngapuhi people, and of the cultureal importance of this heritage.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Ships in 4 to 7 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41704195293342,"sku":"UBD-9780143011361","price":29.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/products\/9780143011361.jpg?v=1653450045","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/te-rongoa-maori-medicine","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
