From
the heavens comes the gift of ua (rain), to nurture, cleanse,
refresh and purify. Blessed with a keen sense of observation and
spirituality, the Hawaiians of ancient times gave many names and
personalities to various rainfalls. One such name was "Waihua," a
description of water that is pure in every sense.
The
large leaves of the taro plant caught and stored this special water
until gathered by the kahuna (expert, healer, prophet) for
use in potions, medicine, ceremony and protocol. Waihua is water that
has not touched the dirt of the earth, nor the sins of mankind. It
was a treasured resource that helped na kanaka maoli
(Hawaiian people) to rejuvenate and invigorate their bodies and
spirits, creating pono (balance) in one's life.
