Ancient hawaiian technique tested for colostomy Patients' Well-Being

This study tested whether the Ho'oponopono technique, a traditional Hawaiian practice of forgiveness and reconciliation, could help people with a colostomy adjust to their stoma, improve body image, and enhance quality of life. Researchers enrolled 64 adults who had colostomy surgery and applied the technique on the first three days after surgery, continuing for a month. The goal was to see if this simple, non-drug approach could make a meaningful difference in how patients cope.
