Piko Piko Fern: A Symbol of Healing and Balance
The Piko Piko fern, a sacred plant in Hawaiian culture, symbolizes growth, renewal, and spiritual harmony. "Piko," meaning "navel" or "center," highlights its role in healing the body, mind, and spirit.
Traditionally used in ceremonies and healing rituals, its leaves are brewed into medicinal teas or applied to soothe ailments. The fern embodies the Hawaiian value of mālama ‘āina—caring for the land—reflecting the deep connection between people and nature.
This cherished plant reminds us of the balance in all things and the importance of nurturing ourselves, others, and the environment.
'Care for the ocean and the ocean will care for you.
Beloved children are the plants.
