He hanga ka kainga, ka pania, ka werohia, ka kuhuna rānei ki te tinana, he mahi rānei ka mahia hei whakaora i te mate, hei kaupare atu rānei i te mate.*
*He Pātaka Kupu (wh.785)
A substance which is eaten, applied, injected or put into the body, or actions which are taken in order to heal or avert a sickness.
Ka whakamahia te kawakawa hei rongoā mō te harehare.
Weroa ai ngā kaumātua ki te rongoā ārai rewharewha i ia hōtoke.
Ka āta rongoātia tōna māuiui e ngā mātanga hauora o te whare haumanu o te hapori.
