i'm deployed down here in Honduras for 6 months and i've been asking around about batana (ojon) oil cause the Miskito indians are from here. i found out they are way on the other side of Honduras in the jungle where there are no roads. the only way to get out there is to fly and then take a boat. so i guess i won't be meeting them in person.
but, i work with a lot of the local people and i've been asking them if they can get some for me. so a guy at work surprised me today with a jar of it! he saw a man selling some natural products so he asked him did he have batana oil and he had some. they sell it in gerber baby food jars. it was 150 Lempira which is about $8.
he said to see how i like it then he would get me some more. my hair is braided right now and i'm going to keep it braided the whole time i'm down here. even though i've never used it, i told him to see about getting me some really big jars so i can ship them home. even if i end up not liking it i know i can sell them on ebay or something.
it looks like a dark brown thick paste. it smells like coffee with a hint of tobacco or something. i am sooooooo happy i got the pure stuff!
forget Ojon with his $55 jar of stuff. i got the real deal for $8!!
