🌸 Spring Allergies? How Emu Bush & Gumby Gumby Can Help
When the seasons change and spring comes alive, many of us are reminded of the not-so-pleasant side of blooming flowers—sneezing fits, watery eyes, and clogged sinuses. Allergies can make it hard to enjoy the beauty of the season. For thousands of years, Aboriginal people have turned to Country for healing. Two powerful plants—Emu Bush (Eremophila spp.) and Gumby Gumby (Pittosporum angustifolium)—offer natural support that can help the body manage allergy symptoms and restore balance.
🌿 Emu Bush (Eremophila spp.)
Anti-inflammatory properties – Emu Bush has long been used to calm swelling and irritation. For allergy sufferers, this means relief from inflamed sinuses, sore throats, and itchy skin.
Antibacterial & antiseptic action – Runny noses and sinus congestion often lead to secondary infections. Emu Bush is known to combat bacteria, helping reduce the risk of sinus and throat infections.
Respiratory support – Traditionally prepared as a tea or used in steam inhalations, Emu Bush can help open the airways, soothe the chest, and make breathing easier.
Skin health – Seasonal allergies sometimes cause rashes, hives, or irritation. Topical Emu Bush ointments may ease itching and support skin repair.
🌱 Gumby Gumby (Pittosporum angustifolium)
Immune system booster – Gumby Gumby is widely known as a natural immune supporter, helping the body defend itself against allergens and seasonal changes.
Anti-inflammatory effects – Like Emu Bush, Gumby Gumby helps calm inflammation. This can reduce sneezing, congestion, and red, itchy eyes.
Antioxidant protection – The plant contains compounds that help protect the body from oxidative stress, supporting overall wellness during allergy season.
Balancing & restorative – Traditionally, Gumby Gumby has been used to bring the body back into balance. When the immune system is overreacting to pollen and dust, this plant can help restore harmony.
🌸 Stronger Together
While both plants are powerful on their own, combining Emu Bush and Gumby Gumby can provide a more complete approach to spring allergies. Gumby Gumby supports and strengthens the immune system, while Emu Bush tackles the flare-ups, irritation, and infections that often follow. Together, they create a natural defence system against seasonal triggers.
⚠️ A Gentle Note
Bush medicines are powerful, and everyone’s body responds differently. Always start with small amounts, and if you’re taking prescribed medications, speak with a healthcare professional before adding bush remedies to your routine.
