Girri Girri - Wildcrafted 50g

Health Heiress – Wildcrafted Girri Girri Powder

Girri Girri is a potent native Australian botanical used by First Nations people for thousands of years. Traditionally valued for its strong healing properties, Girri Girri is gaining modern attention for its antimicrobial, metabolic, and anti-inflammatory potential — supported by a growing body of research into its rich phytochemical profile and therapeutic promise.

Health Heiress Girri Girri is wildcrafted in remote bushland, finely milled into powder, and contains no fillers or additives — just the pure plant, as it has been used for generations.

Aboriginal Medicinal Use

Girri Girri has been traditionally used across Bundjalung Country and other Indigenous regions for:

• Respiratory clearing, headaches, and phlegm reduction

• Fungal infections, cold sores, and skin lesions

• Oral health and digestion

• Menstrual discomfort and inflammation

• General vitality and immune resilience

It was often prepared as a tea, gargle, or steam inhalation and used in spiritual and medicinal contexts to cleanse the body and calm inflammation. The plant's natural citral content gave it a lemony aroma, signalling its potent protective effects and natural insect-repellent action.

Health Benefits & Scientific Findings

Modern studies have confirmed that Girri Girri contains the highest levels of citral of any known plant, making it one of the most promising antimicrobial botanicals in native Australian flora.

Key Phytochemical Constituents Include:

• Citral (potent anti-fungal & anti-viral compound)

• Lutein, folate, vitamin A, E, C, zinc, magnesium, calcium

• Flavonoids and antioxidants known to protect DNA and mitochondria

• Compounds linked to insulin regulation, metabolic balance, and neuroprotection

Scientific insights suggest Girri Girri may:

• Exhibit strong antifungal, antiviral, and antibacterial effects — including activity against MRSA

• Reduce oxidative stress and promote cellular repair

• Improve insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance, possibly supporting those with metabolic syndrome

• Inhibit the growth of colon, bladder, stomach, and liver cancer cells in laboratory settings (research ongoing)

• Aid in fat metabolism and protect against diet-induced obesity

• Support eye health, mitochondrial function, and DNA repair
