Uluhe Fern Hydrosol - Wildcrafted (Dicranopteris Linearis)

This artisan hydrosol is handcrafted in small batches right here on the Big Island of Hawai'i! The message of this unique hydrosol is subtle, yet potent.

The Uluhe Fern (pronounced oo-LOO-hay) is well known in the Hawaiian Islands, but is found all over the wet Old World tropics and adjacent regions, including Polynesia and the Pacific. It is also known as the Old World Forked Fern and the False Staghorn Fern. The Uluhe Fern can thrive in places that have very little soil or nutrients, and is a major builder of soil in native rainforest. Other plants rely of the foundation that Uluhe creates.
The medicine of this plant is associated with Feminine Creation and everything that that entails. This includes the nurturing and nourishing energy often associated with motherhood, as well as the fractaline quantum energy that exists in the womb space. If you take a look at the baby fern shoots of this species, you will see that they even look a lot like the female reproductive system. 

On our island, these plants especially thrive in the rainforest near our active volcano, Kīlauea. This is the space where the raw, explosive (and sometimes even destructive) creation energy that is born from the volcano begins to ripple out, slow down, and shift into its next phase of stable evolution and growth.

Traditionally, Native Hawaiians drank a liquid made from Uluhe as a cure for constipation. In Indochina, New Guinea, and Malaysia, this fern has been used to treat intestinal worms, skin ulcers, wounds, and fever. In vitro samples of the Uluhe fern kill bacteria.

In addition, this hydrosol has been artisinally alchemized in a copper alembic still. Copper has been used for its healing properties by many different cultures, including the ancient Mesopotamians, Indians, and Egyptians. Copper is known to naturally neutralize toxins, ionize and balance water (due in part to its pH). In ayurvedic teachings, copperized water is also used to naturally balance the body's three doshas.
