I had a chance to learn how to make a famous kukui nut necklase while in Hawaii. Like many other things there, kukui has a special meaning and simbology. Iit was most valued for its oil,The flowers and nuts are all used for medicine. As food, roasted nuts, salt and sometimes chili peppers, is used as a relish and is called `inamona.
White flowers were given to the child to aid in healing of (thrush) sores inside the mouth and upon the tongue. This is also used for chipped lips, cold sores and sunburns. I personally had loads of help after days at the beach.
I found out from my kukui necklase teacher that this nut today is used to help with blood pressure, constipation, deep bruises, rheumatic joints, but especialy bad skin problems: ulcers, eczemas and psoriasis.
