Maya Hawke discusses her upbringing and says her mother, actress Uma Thurman, taught her home remedies she describes as “witch-adjacent.” In interviews, Hawke characterizes the practice as folk-style wellness rather than anything harsh or dramatic, referencing “witch-adjacent” language to describe the remedies she was shown. She also describes specific examples, including herbal remedies and a drink made with pineapple skin that she says her mother used for colds. Both outlets present Hawke’s comments as part of her broader reflections on how she grew up, emphasizing that the remedies were traditional, at-home practices passed down from Thurman. Neither source reports new medical findings or broader health claims beyond Hawke’s personal account. The coverage centers on Hawke’s remarks about what her mother taught her and how those practices shaped her childhood perspective on alternative or folk wellness.
