Strawberry Gum Native Bush Tea 50g

Health Heiress – Wildcrafted Strawberry Gum Leaf

Strawberry Gum is one of Australia’s most aromatic and therapeutic native botanicals, traditionally used by Aboriginal peoples for digestive comfort and vitality during travel. With a naturally sweet, berry-like flavour and a hint of cinnamon, this wild-harvested leaf is both delicious and powerful — offering antioxidant, antimicrobial, and gut-supportive benefits.

Sustainably collected in the wild and carefully dried, Health Heiress Strawberry Gum Leaf is a multifunctional herb that supports wellness, flavour, and cellular protection.

Aboriginal Medicinal Use

Passing through Bundjalung Country, Indigenous Australians would chew Strawberry Gum leaves to relieve digestive complaints and soothe gut irritation. It was also known to assist with:

• Gastrointestinal imbalance

• Fatigue from long-distance travel

• Oral hygiene and breath freshening

• Relief from bloating and stomach cramps

Traditionally, it was either chewed fresh, infused in water, or burned as a therapeutic smoke to ease discomfort.
