March is Women’s Month, a time to celebrate the resilience, strength, and wisdom of women everywhere. This year’s theme, Moving Forward Together, invites us to honor the contributions of women who have paved the way for better health, community, and cultural preservation. Here in Hawaiʻi, we recognize the incredible impact of Hawaiian women—wahine—whose legacies continue to inspire future generations.
From traditional healing practices to modern scientific breakthroughs, Hawaiian women have played a vital role in shaping holistic health and wellness. Their stories remind us of the deep connection between mind, body, and spirit—values that continue to influence how we approach health today.
At greenteaHAWAII, we are proud to support women in their wellness journeys by providing a functional, instant green tea beverage designed for busy lifestyles. Whether leading in the boardroom, caring for their ‘ohana, or making time for self-care, we believe that when women thrive, communities flourish.
Hawaiian Wahine Who Transformed Health & Healing
Throughout history, Hawaiian women have embraced holistic wellness, using traditional knowledge to promote healing. Some of the most celebrated figures include:
Morrnah Nalamaku Simeona (1913–1992) – The Modern Healer
A kahuna lapaʻau (Hawaiian healer), Morrnah Simeona revitalized the ancient Hawaiian practice of hoʻoponopono—a method of reconciliation and emotional healing. She shared this wisdom worldwide, teaching that true wellness comes from cleansing the mind and spirit. Today, hoʻoponopono is recognized as a powerful tool for stress relief and personal growth.
Agnes Kalanihoʻokaha Cope (1924–2015) – Preserving Cultural Health
A kumu hula (hula master) and cultural practitioner, Agnes Cope helped establish the Waiʻanae Coast Comprehensive Health Center, which integrates Hawaiian healing traditions with modern medicine. Her efforts ensured that future generations could access holistic healthcare while staying rooted in Hawaiian values.
Isabella Kauakea Yau Yung Aiona Abbott (1919–2010) – The Limu Lady
The first Native Hawaiian woman to earn a Ph.D. in science, Isabella Abbott was a leading expert on limu (seaweed), which has long been a staple in Hawaiian diets for its nutritional and medicinal properties. Her research bridged indigenous knowledge with Western science, highlighting the health benefits of native plants.
Alice Ball (1892–1916) – The Groundbreaking Chemist
Alice Ball revolutionized medicine with the first effective treatment for leprosy, using chaulmoogra oil in a way that made it absorbable by the body. Although her life was cut short, her discovery saved countless lives and showcased the power of innovation in health.
Queen Kapiʻolani (1834–1899) – Champion of Women’s Health
Queen Kapiʻolani dedicated her life to the well-being of Hawaiian mothers and infants, founding the Kapiʻolani Maternity Home. She believed in providing compassionate care to ensure future generations of wahine could thrive.
These remarkable women remind us that health is more than just physical well-being—it is about balance, tradition, and innovation coming together.
Empowering Women Through Health & Nutrition
At greenteaHAWAII, we believe in supporting women with clean, functional beverages that align with their wellness goals. Our unique blend includes ingredients that have been extensively studied for their benefits to energy, focus, and overall health:
Green Tea Extract – Rich in antioxidants like EGCG, green tea supports metabolism, boosts energy, and promotes heart health. Studies have shown that green tea can enhance cognitive function, making it a perfect companion for women balancing work, family, and self-care.
L-Theanine – Found naturally in green tea, L-theanine promotes relaxation without drowsiness, helping to reduce stress while maintaining focus. This is especially beneficial for women managing busy schedules who need mental clarity without the jitters.
Noni Fruit – A traditional Polynesian superfruit, noni has been used for centuries to support immune health and vitality. Modern research suggests it contains powerful antioxidants that aid in reducing inflammation and improving skin health.
By combining these ingredients in a convenient, single-serving packet, greenteaHAWAII makes it easier than ever for women to stay energized and feel their best—wherever life takes them.
