Posology, which concerns itself with the dosage of medicines, would certainly be relevant to Maori Rongoa when making up herbal concoctions, and when dispensing them to patients. It is highly important, when dealing with substances that might be toxic in the wrong amounts, to develop a table of the proper amounts and strengths of your medicaments in order to avoid causing harm to your patients.

What are Maori medicines made from?

Blends of nature. Native trees, plants, ferns etc... almost every plant in a natural forest has its own medicinal properties. Some are pleasant, some are revolting. Some medicines are from minerals, insects, etc... Cobwebs were great for grazes to stop the bleeding. Moss was used by women during their menstrual cycle. Kawakawa leaves and kumarahou leaves can be boiled and the juice drunk to relieve respiratory problems. There are too many to name... your best bet would be to Google rongoa (Maori medicine) or Maori medicine.
