About
Emu Bush (Eremophila longifolia), also known as weeping emu bush, berrigan or long-leaved emu bush, is a widespread native Australian shrub. Our dried Emu Bush leaf is spray-free (not certified organic) and sourced in Australia. Aboriginal peoples have long used the leaves, traditionally in washes, rubs and poultices, and in ceremony. Emu Bush contains naturally occurring plant compounds (phytochemicals) that can be biologically active, so it should be treated with respect rather than as an everyday food. It is commonly used topically or as a mouth gargle. Available in 50g and 250g packs.
As always, it's advisable to consult with healthcare professionals for personalised guidance on health concerns.
