Made from 100% organic cotton and naturally dyed with cutch and pomegranate, the Lotus Root Bandana is versatile piece that is pinkish orange brown in color and features two blockprinted designs (one on each opposite corner) of our favorite sweet and crunchy root vegetable. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, lotus roots support our spleen health and immune system and make a balanced companion to cooling summer foods such as bitter melon, tomatoes, and mushrooms. We love it sliced and cooked in pork bone soup.
Minor imperfections in dye and print are to be expected. A limited amount readily available.
