Ancient superfood
Gurạdji (ger-ra-je) is a celebrated superfood among the Gurungai people, traditionally used for thousands of years to heal ailments, cleanse the body, and clarify the mind. Women brewed sun tea by steeping the leaves in water for hours, relieving cramps, pain, and nausea. The leaves were also chewed for toothaches and made into a healing paste for wounds, leveraging their anti-inflammatory properties.
Exclusive to LORE Australia
Passed down through generations by the wise elders of the Gurungai people, the ancient knowledge of Gurạdji's health and medicinal benefits has been preserved for thousands of years. The wise 'Guradji Men,' holders of knowledge, tradition, and LORE, dispensed the leaf, granting permission to access their Country and sharing it in ceremonies as a sign of welcome and comfort. Gurạdji's growth is limited to specific regions with unique conditions, making it a cherished rarity and exclusive to the Gurungai people.
Anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties
Renowned for its potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, Gurạdji is a natural wonder. Naturally caffeine-free, it is rich in Quercetin, Kaempferol, and Inositol. Quercetin protects cells from oxidative damage, Kaempferol safeguards cells, lipids, and DNA, and Inositol supports dental, hair, and skin health, as well as nervous system function and serotonin modulation.
Nutritional Integrity
Unlike conventional foods subjected to intensive agricultural practices, Australian native bushfoods like Gurạdji remain untouched and in their natural state for centuries. This preservation ensures their nutritional integrity and allows them to boast higher levels of beneficial compounds absent in modern commercial foods.
