Turmeric, Curcuma longa, is a flowering, herbaceous plant in the family of the Zingiberaceae. Called ‘Ōlena in Hawai’i, this rhizomatous plant is prized in many asian and pacific cultures for its folk uses and remedies, such as proper digestion, inflammation, nerve repair, and as a dye.

One of the great traditional uses for ‘Ōlena, in Hawai’i, is for the purpose of appeasing and pleasing the mo’o, the dragons. Especially in the pre-polynesian Hawaiian myths, such as Mū, offerings of ‘ōlena not only satiated the dragons hunger, but also incited playfulness and friendliness. For this reason, we are especially eager and delighted to share these apothecary medicinals during the Chinese year of the Wood Dragon.
