“When people are empowered to self-heal, they reclaim their mana. They are no longer passive recipients of care — they are active creators of their own wellbeing.” — Rebecca Collett on creating a mental health support programme in Ohakune. #Māori #Indigedon #Rongoā #ManaMotuhake #ETangata

Over the summer, I discovered that putting fresh kawakawa leaves inside my shoes is really good way to deal with foot/ shoe odour. I guess you could make it into an essential oil or a spray and that might work too. But what i'd really like is some kind of thin, meshy insole I could put the fresh leaves inside.
