Awapuhi - Shampoo Ginger

#hawaii #maui #awapuhi #colorpencils

Grateful for the healing power of ʻawapuhi (shampoo ginger) blooming by our outdoor shower! Hawaiians have used this fragrant plant for centuries to cleanse and condition hair and skin. Learn how it nourishes dry hair, soothes the scalp, and connects us with the healing gifts of nature. 🌿🌺

I planted a small root cutting of the pine cone lilly four years ago. ( Zingiber zerumbet, also known as shampoo ginger or pinecone ginger, is a tropical herb native to Southeast Asia ) I now have enough to continue making shampoo and hot processed soap, for rest of the year #pineconelilly #Awapuhi
