Hawaiian Healing Gains Acceptance
Author: Ron Staton, Associated Press Source: Honolulu Advertiser (HI)
Title: HAWAIIAN HEALING GAINS ACCEPTANCE
It was Tuesday and the volleyball player at Punahou School had a painful sprained finger, but she wanted to play that Friday.
Alapai Kahuena received a call and went from her home on the Leeward Coast to Ala Moana Park to look at the girl, the granddaughter of a friend.
Kahuena, a practitioner of Native Hawaiian healing, pounded leaves of ha'uoi, a plant also known as verbena, and mixed it with Hawaiian salt. After massaging the girl's arm, she placed the mixture on the finger, wrapped it in gauze, and told the girl to leave it on for three days. "Her mother later told me the pain went away and the girl was able to play on Friday," Kahuena said.
A growing number of Hawai'i residents are turning to traditional healing practices as an alternative or a supplement to visiting a regular doctor.
