Welcoming a wonderful new product to our Yolngu range.

Gadayka is the local and traditional name (scientific name is Eucalyptus Tetrodonta) given to this plant by the local custodians, the Yolŋu people, who have used this plant for 60,000+ years for its potential to relieve respiratory ailments. 

Gadayka is the name specifically given to the new growth and purple leaves of the local Eucalyptus trees and wild-harvested from Yolŋu Country in the remote north of Australia in North East Arnhem Land.

A plant scientifically and traditionally known for its antimicrobial and vaporising properties, we are proud to create a natural balm to help assist with the following:

• Soothe nasal congestion
  
• Sinus pressure
• Cold and flu symptoms

Our Gadayka balm is ideal for those prone to a blocked nose or tickly cough. It can be applied topically to the chest, back, throat, around the nose or soles of the feet. 

This balm is not suitable for babies or to use on children under two years of age.
