Talk:Pulu (material)

Comment
I think it's a stretch to say pulu is a textile, so I removed the category for that. Also, until someone can say what the Hawaiians used it for (I don't know of anything offhand), I removed the Hawaiian culture category as well. KarlM 02:17, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

Pulu
I believe it was used by Hawaiians for medicinal purposes. It was considered an antibiotic.130.36.62.122 19:32, 7 August 2006 (UTC) Robert Kowal


 * How would you use it as an antibiotic? Stuff it in a wound?  KarlM 05:13, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

The silky hairs were used as a wound dressing.


 * Yes, see sources in article. Not antibiotic but absorbant. W Nowicki (talk) 17:55, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
