Summary edit

Description

Hala or Screwpine Pandanaceae Indigenous to the Hawaiian Islands Oʻahu (Cultivated)

This is a thornless form.

The aerial root tips called "scales," were pounded, juice strained and heated by early Hawaiians. They were mixed with eucalyptus in a pūloʻuloʻu (steam bath) to treat colds. A mixture of aerial roots with kō (sugar cane) and other plants was used as a tonic for mothers weakened by child birth. The mixture was also given for chest pains. When mixed with other plants, the roots were used in urinary tract infections, low energy and red eyes. The tips are said to be rich in vitamin B. The keys (fruits) of the form hala pia were used medicinally.
