Loofah sponges from the luffa plant have historically been used as scrubbers. Benefits and uses of a loofah include:
- using with soap to lather up and cleanse your skin
- exfoliating the skin on your body and face
- stimulating blood circulation while you shower or bathe
Some people also swear by loofahs as household cleaning products. They can be used to scrub tiles, showers, sinks, and other hard-to-clean surfaces. As well as utilizing as a natural seed starting “pot” because the fibers will decompose in your garden bed.
Grown on our farm from the loofah gourde and dried, the loofah resembles a squash and can actually be eaten when young.
