🥱🍃Don’t Sleep On This Native Plant 🍃🥱
Jilungin (Terminalia canescens) is a native Australian plant found in the north-west of Western Australia. It’s a green tree with gorgeous, delicate white flowers and green, flat leaves that grows up to 10m tall. Much like its cousin plant Gubinge, Jilungin has quickly gained international recognition for its medicinal properties.
😴 Traditionally, the native beauty has been used for thousands of years in the form of a tea to promote a deep sleep, relaxed mind, and a healthy digestive system. It was prepared by placing the leaves in seashells and boiling them over an open fire.
😴The leaves, bark and stems of this precious plant are wild harvested after the wet season by the Nyul Nyul community in Western Australia. Wild harvesting is a sustainable farming practice designed to protect biodiversity and the ecosystem.
😴 Research and studies have found the native plant to alleviate insomnia and even help relieve migraines and headaches. It’s a central nervous system sedative which causes you to feel drowsy and ready to hop into bed.
😴 Once boiled, the leaves have a gorgeous, mild, earthy, and herbal flavour. Making it the perfect blend for a night tea or mixed in a rub with meats such as chicken and quail.
😴 Trying to catch up on some beauty sleep? Asides from being a natural sedative, the leaves also contain more antioxidants then a cup of green tea.
