Irmangka Irmangka Bush Rub within Australia only.
Currently Out of Stock
Due to the dry climate of Central Australia, Irmangka Irmangka grows small and slowly, needing rains. When it is strong and aromatic after good rains, it is highly sought after by all the local women, to replenish their dwindling tubs. They set to, and make more, for all their community.
Having learnt to make it and use it every day myself, I also run out. Luckily, I am nuturing two different, similar plants, found as seedlings here, (east caost northern rivers, NSW) of Kunzea, an east coast alternative. I am now into my second harvest, and thanks to a very wet summer here, the third harvest is not far off.
I will make a new listing for Kunzea Bush Rub soon.
