Ginger Shampoo at Kactus
On Koh Ta Kiev you can find Ginger Shampoo (Zingiber zerumbet), a tropical plant known for its natural use as a hair wash. By gently pressing the red flower cone, it releases a clear liquid with a soft, fresh scent.
This liquid works as a natural shampoo and skin conditioner. The plant is not harmed in the process – we don’t cut or damage it. Pressing the flower is enough, and it continues to grow normally.
It’s one of the many examples of how nature provides simple solutions, still alive on the island today.
