Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about our Wilga Tea.
We use the leaf of Wilga (Geijera parviflora), grown and harvested on our farm. It’s where the naturally occurring bioactives — including the local anaesthetic compound geijerin — are most concentrated.
Wilga contains a natural local anaesthetic compound and antioxidant-rich phenolics. Traditionally used to soothe discomfort and respiratory issues, our leaf tea provides a gentle, plant-based option for daily wellness rituals.
Laboratory and ethnobotanical evidence suggests Wilga leaf may:
- Support comfort of muscles and joints
- Help maintain respiratory health and clear airways
- Provide antioxidant compounds that help neutralise free radicals
These findings come from laboratory studies and traditional use; they are not medical claims.
Steep 1–2 teaspoons of dried leaf in hot water for 5–10 minutes, or gently simmer for a stronger cup. A longer brew releases more of the plant’s natural compounds.
When consumed as a herbal tea, Wilga leaf is generally considered safe for daily use by healthy adults. If you’re pregnant, breastfeeding, on medication or have a medical condition, please consult a health professional first.
Wilga Tea is positioned for muscle, joint and respiratory support, Native Apricot Tea for skin, cardiovascular and hormonal balance, and Maroon Bush Tea for immune defense and gentle cleanse.
Wilga’s key compound geijerin has been studied for its local anaesthetic and anti-inflammatory activity, and lab assays show Wilga leaf contains antioxidant phenolics. These findings support its traditional use and our decision to use leaf only.
