The frangipani tree is certainly the most popular tree in the South Pacific and is the strongest symbol of tropical paradise. The plant is reportedly used in a number of traditional medicinal preparations throughout Asia and Latin America for diabetes, toothache, eye-cleaning, tongue cleaning, fingernail pain, wound healing, subcutaneous mycosis… And as ornamental as part of folk ritual due to its aesthetic values. Symbol of women’s freshness and beauty, frangipani flowers are used to make colourful Hawaiian leis (necklaces) and to adorn the hair. Frangipani trees symbolise pureness and eternity: in East Asia, the Frangipani tree has the reputation of being immortal because it continues to give flowers and leaves even when it has been uprooted.
The oily extract of frangipani flower contains fatty acids and a few essential oils, with emollient, smoothing, regenerating, and antibacterial powers.
