Hawaiian healing, also known as traditional Hawaiian medicine or lāʻau lapaʻau, encompasses a holistic approach to health and well-being rooted in ancient Hawaiian wisdom and practices.
It incorporates various traditional healing modalities, including herbal medicine, massage, lomilomi (Hawaiian massage), hoʻoponopono (a form of conflict resolution and healing), and spiritual rituals. Central to Hawaiian healing is the belief in the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit, and the importance of maintaining balance and harmony within oneself and with the surrounding environment.
Hawaiian healing practices aim to address not only physical ailments but also emotional, mental, and spiritual imbalances, promoting holistic health and vitality.
