Traditionally used by Indigenous Australians for thousands of years for; cough, cold, flu, bronchitis, asthma, sinusitis, pneumonia, sore throats, asthma, ear infections and for its antiseptic properties.

Research indicates it seems to have a strong affect on strains of Streptococcus bacteria.
Historically applied in a liniment for pain, headaches, neuralgia, arthritis, inflammation, and to improve circulation. On the skin it has been used as an antiseptic to treat injuries, cuts, wounds, blisters, cold sores, shingles and mild burns.
In Traditional Chinese and European Herbal Practice it was considered a very powerful aid to clear too much wind- heat and lung phlegm. It was also considered to tone the Chi and improve breathing whilst also promoting the uptake of oxygen by the red blood cells.
