Ginger Thomas (Bokarumaa)
Native to tropics and subtropics, this beautiful yellow
flower can be found thriving year
round on Sun Island. Though not so abundant its planted because it has very
beautiful bell like yellow flowers. Not only is it a pleasure to look at,
but historically, it has proved to have great medicinal value. The leaves of
the Ginger Thomas are used to reduce fever and to strengthen a woman’s body
after childbirth. The leaves have also been known to ease symptoms of the
common cold, diabetes, headaches, and high blood pressure, while the roots
have been used to ease symptoms of syphilis. Take a moment to smell the
flowers! The scent is fragrant, like that of champagne.
