Oahu: Keaiwa Heiau
A "sashimi" style show from Hawaii. Coming to you
from a 15th century healing temple called Keaiwa Heiau outside of
Oahu.
Today's show comes to you raw and unedited - from the island of Oahu in the state of Hawaii. Today we visit a 15th century Hawaiian healing temple called Keaiwa Heiau.

In ancient Hawaii, it a revered medical center and healing school. The resident Kahuna grew and prepared herbs used for treatment and prescriptions. The Kahuna treated the patients inside a pili-grass thatched house and made offerings to the gods.
