Mamaki, the Ancient Miracle Herb

 

Mamaki is a native Hawaiian plant that has been used for centuries by indigenous healers as a natural remedy for physical and spiritual ailments. In ancient Hawaiian culture, Mamaki supported the 'Aina (land), good health and longevity.

Mamake Tea helps to promote a healthy immune system, reduce high blood pressure, lower cholesterol, cleanse toxins from the blood and releases stress and

Mamaki Tea invigorates without caffeine. It contains macro and micro minerals with catechins which stimulate brain activity, boost metabolism and are rich in antioxidants.

Drinking Mamaki Tea will leave you feeling productive, creative, and confident!

Just like Green Tea, Mamaki Tea can help protect against cancer. The polyphenols that inhibit tumor cell proliferation are abundant in the Mamaki leaves. Mamaki Tea is a powerful precious remedy to defend against life’s most unforgiving disease.

In Hawaiian chants Mamaki is referred to as the "Healer of the Forest." It restores damaged soil by adding nitrogen and regenerates the native rainforest in Hawaii.
Mamaki trees even provide food and shelter for the endangered Kamehameha butterfly.

The bark has been used for centuries to make cloth and cords.

Mamaki Tea can be consumed and used as a natural sunscreen instead of using sunscreens that contain oxybenzone and octinoxate which damage the skin and are also a major threat to Hawaii’s coral reefs. The State of Hawaii actually bans the sale of these sunscreens.
Mamaki Tea provides the perfect wholesome replacement of chemical sunscreens.

The Mamaki Plant has a miraculously vast potential to heal the people and the planet.

The amazing properties of the Mamaki Plant inspired the creation of Hawaiian Art Doll Mamaki, the Healing Dancer.

Mamaki’s dance beckons you to keep your eyes on the heavens and stand with Aloha!

Honoring the Akuas (spirits), Mamaki gracefully performs a stately and dignified Hula dance while shaking his ‘Uli’Ulis (traditional feather gourds) with strength and agility.

The rhythm of the ‘Uli’Ulis, Hula and chant are a powerful medicine for body and soul.
Mamaki’s ‘Uli’Ulis invoke the protection of the spirits in connection with the strength and healing power of the Hawaiian Mamaki Plant.

Mamaki is named after the miraculous native Hawaiian Mamaki Plant. Mamaki has been used for centuries by indigenous healers as a natural remedy for many physical and spiritual ailments.

Mamaki made his ‘Uli’Ulis out of wood and brown and orange feathers. He blessed the feather gourds with Hawaiian salt and special prayers. The gourds are sacred now. They were created by Mamaki and only he is allowed to touch them.

Mamaki wears a tapa cloth lava lava (wraparound) with a green belt, a white shell necklace, green and yellow lei and a matching Haku on his long grey/white hair. He also has brown crocheted underwear.

His body is made out of doll skin and stuffed with high quality poly fill. The body is wired for flexibility. The eyes and mouth are intricately embroidered onto the face. All accessories were individually hand crafted.
