Curcuma longa, commonly called turmeric, 'Olena in Hawaiian culture, is a
medicinal plant that has been used by many cultures throughout the world,
but has only in the last two decades been studied pharmacologically and
substantiated by scientific reasearch. This perennial herb is proving to be
an important medicine.
The wonderful, bright orange rhizomes make a golden yellow dye which
was used by Hawaiians to color kapa cloth. The special medicinal uses in
Hawaiian culture indicate that the astringent and antibacterial properties
of the plant were utilized. The rhizome was crushed and the juice was mixed
with water and used as a treatment for ear infections. The same remedy was
used for cleaning the nasal passages. The anti-inflammatory action of the
plant has been confirmed in recent studies.

places.

Tumeric
(known as 'Olena in Hawaiian) is well known as a culinary herb and important
ingredient in traditional healer's medical kit. Curcuma's healing properties are renowned and shared by many
cultures.
In Hawaii and India both, it is also used as a saffron dye for fabric and
tapa, and foods that are cooked with turmeric (including yellow curry) are
noted for their golden signature glow.
Another favorite of ours, We cook with these same rhizomes. These rhizomes add that excellent spicy flavor
so prized in Asian recipes. You can cook with these or plant them. Olena
ground rhizomes is used for marinating meat and seafood, as well as adding
color and taste to curries. We love using the leaves too to spice up some
dishes.
Turmeric is native to India and southern Asia and has long been used as a
spice in cooking; for coloring food (curry dishes), flavoring, and as a
preservative. It's historical uses as a medicine are numerous. As an
anti-inflammatory it has been useful for arthritis, allergies, asthma, and
eczema. It can be used for external skin conditions such as psoriasis and
fungal infections. It has also been used for treating indigestion,
gallbladder or liver disease, obesity, and as a cancer preventative. As a
digestive, it increases mucus production in the stomach. It is a good
natural medicine for nausea and motion sickness.
Turmeric (Curcuma longa) is a rhizomatous herbaceous perennial plant of the ginger
family, Zingiberaceae.Plants are gathered annually for their rhizomes, and
re-seeded from some of those rhizomes in the following season.
In medieval Europe, turmeric became known as Indian Saffron, since it is
widely used as an alternative to the far more expensive saffron spice.
This extremely versatile root is
renowned for its
popularity in Oriental and Indian cooking.

The 'Olena (Curcuma longa) is an exotic herb grown for its spicy rhizomes used in cooking and
medicines. 'Edible Ginger' has broad leaves. Lacking a true stem, long,
overlapping leaves grow up to 20 inches high from the root of the plant.
Yellow and white flower bracts also appear on 'Olena.

A relative of the ginger plant, it looks
much like a pudgy ginger root from the outside, but once you cut into it,
the shock of vibrant orange differentiates it from your average store bought
ginger (Zingiber officinale). If you haven't heard about turmeric, most
likely you have unknowingly tasted it. Used as one of the main ingredients
in Indian curries, and as a coloring agent in mustard, turmeric probably
crossed your lips or at least stained that new white shirt you wore to that
picnic. Found in body washes, shampoos, soaps, and makeup, turmeric has
become increasingly popular in the body care industry. Used in beauty
rituals for Indian, and Bengali weddings, brides are covered in turmeric
paste to create a glow like no other. Also applied to cuts, skin infections,
acne, and scars turmeric has been known as a useful beauty rescue aid.
|
The rhizomes are boiled for several hours and then dried in
hot ovens, after which they are ground into a deep
orange-yellow powder commonly used as a spice in curries and
other South Asian and Middle Eastern cuisine, for dyeing,
and to impart color to mustard condiments. Its active
ingredient is curcumin and it has an earthy, bitter, peppery
flavor and a mustardy smell.
Turmeric/Curcuma Longa is mainly grown for its aromatic, edible root that is used in
cooking as well as medicinal purposes.
Ginger root is also used
in baking, confectionery and certain liquors. Ginger root is a gnarled and
knobby root that has a tan skin and a pale yellow-green to ivory flesh.

great Turmeric beauty recipe:

let it sit for a few minutes. Remove the mask by rubbing off mixture with

dishes. |

Payment
We
accept online payments only through PayPal, Cash payments are only acceptable for
in-person payments and cash-on-delivery (COD). Cash payment can not be sent through the
mail.
Please only one Paypal payment. SO THE COMBINED SHIPPING RULE WILL CAN
BE USED. Multiple paypal payments are NOT eligible for
discounts.
We will ship once a week - ON or BEFORE WEDNESDAYS, because
of the special stamps needed to ship plants and cuttings to you. This can only be
done at the Dept. of Agriculture. If payments are not met before that MONDAY, your
items will be shipped the following week and lose the combined discount opportunity.
Non-paying bidders may receive negative feedback and will be reported as an unpaid item to
eBay.
COMBINED
SHIPPING POLICY
INTERNATIONAL
SHIPPING is not included in this offer.
INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING ON LIVE PLANTS on a case by case
basis.
We will combine shipping for auctions won on the same week paid with same paypal payment.
This policy is good for auction items bought and paid for in the week ending MONDAY.
Payment must be received
within 7 days of the auction ending.
Combined
Discounts Won Auctions
For 2-3 winning auctions, the combined discount is 10% of the total Shipping and Handling
charges. For 4-7 winning auctions, the combined discount is 20% of the total Shipping and
Handling charges. For 7+ winning auctions, the combined discount is 30% of the total
Shipping and Handling charges.
As each order is packed and prepared separately you will pay the quoted S/H charges
individually per item. If you buy the same species in that item it does calculate out the
discount (i.e.: additional item $3.61). My stores' combined shipping is built in for same
items rather than a varied selection. Includes postage, USDA certification and inspection,
proper packing and delivery to Airport for prompt delivery. I cant really change any
of these. If you want one of this and one of that, it gets hard to discount much as each
different species requires it's own prep & packing, then at USDA each has to be
unwrapped and inspected then repacked. USDA requires me to clean and prepare every last
piece before we drive them to the Inspection Station on the other side of the island. It
takes my wife and I, a day to pack items and get ready to ship. The whole next day we
drive around the island and get inspected (2-3 hours), then drive to the Airport Post
Office to drop off. It takes the same work with the same type item if you can understand.

LIVE PLANTS ARE PERISHABLE.
For this reason uninsurable.
When you order a plant we assume you are prepared to care for it.
Please have potting media and a container prepared for your plant
before it arrives. Shipping can be stressful on a plant, and any
mistakes that you make upon arrival can stress the plant further,
which is not good. Proper care is critical upon arrival. It is your
responsibility to know how to care for the plant.
Not every plant that I order through
the mail survives, and I am aware of that and accept the risk when I
order. This is the risk that you as the buyer accept, because there
is no way to know what kind of conditions it will endure in the trip
to your door. My responsibility ends when a live plant is delivered
to your door. Live arrival is guaranteed, eternal survival is up to
you.
Do NOT email me a week after potting your plant, and make a claim it
arrived damaged. From delivery confirmation, you have only 48 hours from
delivery confirmation to make any claim.
|
All claims need to be supported with
Photos of the damaged plant(s) as packed/unpacked, the box if damaged,
the packing materials and any documents. I am very reasonable and
understanding, anything can happen to small plants in transit.
The expense to send it to you is most
of your payment. To send any replacement (s), I try to piggy back with
your next order.
Replacement is not an option for
CUSTOMS SEIZURE.
ALL OF MY ITEMS ARE SHIPPED USDA
CERTIFIED WITHIN THE U.S.-
USDA and USPS fees are included in the actual cost of shipping and
Handling.
Please do not leave a 1 or 2 in my
detailed seller ratings for postage fees or any reason really because I
will block you from any further purchases. I ship items the best and least expensive
option. These are coming from Hawaii. The only
thing inexpensive here in Hawaii are my items!! I do ship all my items
promptly via best method--if you feel like the combined shipping fee is
wrong, please wait to be invoiced and check back with me-I value your
business and will work diligently to keep you satisfied. I am very
generous and reasonable with reasonable people, just ask.

Seller warrants seed to be of the variety and quantity advertised.
Safe delivery is guaranteed and seeds lost or damaged during shipment will be replaced at
seller's expense. Claims must be made within 7 days of shipment. All other replacements,
refunds, returns and exchanges will be made at the sole discretion of the seller.
Seed is a live product which depends on many important related grower skills such
as proper planting time, seed depth, type of soil, irrigation, proper use of fertilizers,
weed controls, fungicides, insecticides, disease free soil, and reasonable weather
conditions during the growing period. Germination is affected by such factors as
temperature, moisture content, light intensity and contamination of planting media. These
factors are totally out of the seller's control and are the buyer's responsibility and
risk. Consequentially, the seller cannot unconditionally guarantee seed to perform
properly regardless of conditions or the buyer's methods or mistakes.
