What is Herbal Medicine
Herbs have been used for healing by all peoples from ancient times right through to the present day. This use, spanning thousands of years, illustrates their efficacy and safety in ways no modern trial can emulate. The wealth of documentation from ancient times right through to the present day supports this.

Kahi Loa
To the ancient Hawaiians everything in existence was alive and had an energy vibration or 'mana'. Without mana, nothing could be. Living their lives close to Nature they perceived themselves a part of it. They thought of all of life as One, made up of seven vital elements - fire,wind, water, stone, plants, animals and humans.With their deep understanding of the laws of nature they were able to invoke and utilise the spirit of each element and channel its mana through healing touch.
Kahi Loa means "Permanent Oneness". It is a shamanic form of Lomi Lomi massage done fully clothed without oil. The head to toe massage is performed in seven stages, on both the front and back of the body with the practitioner lightly raking, rolling, pinching, pressing, tapping, squeezing and sweeping their hands over the entire body while using visualisation techniques to invoke the elements.
