It can be applied to any health issue, whether it involves physical or psychological well-being. Māori health is underpinned by four dimensions representing the basic beliefs of life: te taha hinengaro (psychological health), te taha wairua (spiritual health), te taha tinana (physical health) and te taha whānau (family health). This site offers advice on understanding Māori Health.
