Ko te rongoā whakaahua he momo rongoā e whakamahi ana i te mārama hei rongoā i ngā momo mate hauora, tae atu ki ngā mate kiri, te jaundice, me te pouri. Ko ngā moenga rongoā whakaahua he taputapu e tuku ana i te mārama hei rongoā i ēnei mate. E rua ngā momo moenga rongoā whakaahua: ko ngā mea he pā te manawa me ngā mea kāore he pā te manawa.
A moenga whakaora whakaahua (moenga whakaora rama whero) me te pā o te hihi ka tukuna te mārama i roto i ngā pakūnga wā poto, ko te moenga whakaahua-whakaora ia kāore he pā o te hihi ka tukuna tonu te mārama. He maha ngā wā ka whakamahia te pā o te hihi i roto i ngā wāhi hauora hei whakaiti i te tūponotanga o te kino o te kiri mai i te roa o te wā e pāngia ana e te mārama, inā koa mō te hunga he kiri tairongo.
Ko te rerekētanga matua i waenga i ngā moenga whakaora-whakaahua me te pā o te hihi me ngā moenga kāore he pā o te hihi ko te āhua o te tukunga o te mārama. Mēnā he pā o te hihi, ka tukuna te mārama i roto i ngā wā poto, ā, ka taea e te kiri te okioki i waenga i ngā pā o te hihi. He pai tēnei mō ngā tūroro e pāngia ana e te mārama, nā te mea ka whakaiti i te tūponotanga o te kino o te kiri i te roa o te wā e pāngia ana.
I tētahi atu taha, ko ngā moenga whakaora-whakaahua kāore he pāorooro ka tukuna tonutia te mārama, ā, ka pai ake pea tēnei mō ētahi āhuatanga. Hei tauira, ko ngā tūroro he mate kiri kino, me roa ake te wā e whakamahia ana te whakaora-mārama kia kite ai i te whakapainga.
He tautohetohe kei roto i te ao hauora mō te whai huatanga me te haumaru o te whakaahua-whakaora-pūwero ki te whakataurite ki te whakaahua-whakaora-kore-pūwero. Ahakoa ka taea e te pūwero te whakaiti i te mōrearea o te kino o te kiri, ka taea hoki e ia te whakaiti i te whai huatanga whānui o te maimoatanga. Ka taea hoki te whai huatanga o te whakaahua-whakaora te whakawhirinaki ki te āhua motuhake e rongoatia ana me ngā hiahia takitahi o te tūroro.
I te wā e whiriwhiri ana i tētahi moenga whakaora-ataata, he mea nui kia whakaarohia ngā hiahia takitahi o te tūroro, me te āhua motuhake hoki e rongoatia ana. Tērā pea ka whai hua te moenga whakaora-ataata me te pāorooro mō ngā tūroro he kiri tairongo, engari ko te hunga he mate kiri kino, me whai moenga whakaora-ataata kāore i te pāorooro. Hei whakamutunga, ko te kōwhiringa pai rawa atu ka whakawhirinaki ki ngā hiahia takitahi o te tūroro me ngā tohutohu a tētahi tohunga hauora.
Hei whakamutunga, ko ngā moenga whakaahua-whakaora me te pā o te ihu ka tukuna te mārama i roto i ngā pakū poto, ā-wā, ko ngā moenga whakaahua-whakaora ia kāore he pā o te ihu ka tukuna tonutia te mārama. Ko te whiriwhiri i te momo moenga hei whakamahi ka whakawhirinaki ki ngā hiahia o ia tūroro me te āhua motuhake e rongoatia ana. Ahakoa ka taea e te pā o te ihu te whakaiti i te mōrearea o te kino o te kiri, ka taea hoki te whakaiti i te whai huatanga whānui o te maimoatanga. He mea nui te kōrero ki tētahi tohunga hauora ina whakatau ana ko tēhea momo moenga whakaahua-whakaora te whakamahi.
