This is my Lemon myrtle tree (Backhousia citriodora) that has grown so well. My other trees are only half the size. Trouble is when it gets that tall it’s hard to get any leaves! We are in a very frosty area but these trees have grown well. I use them in my tea, dry and grind the leaves to put in food the lemon Myrtle cheesecake being the most popular. I also make infused oil and ointment from them as they have so many medicinal properties including anti inflammatory and antiseptic qualities.

About Us

Raising awareness, researching and developing indigenous plant-based products

Indigenous Plants for Health (IPH) is an incorporated association formed with the objectives of raising awareness, sourcing grants and sponsorship for sustainable production of indigenous plant-based products.

Within Australia there is a wealth of knowledge of medicinal plants which may benefit mankind and as Australian flora is unique in the world, with the generosity and sharing by many indigenous people this knowledge is now entering the mainstream research, health care and pharmaceutical arena. Our focus includes community engagement in the protection, propagation, plant sales and the development of plant based medicinal products. The Association will ensure opportunities and rewards from such activities flow through to Koori (indigenous Australian) communities in the form of scholarships and funding for business ventures.

We have created a list of significant indigenous species that meet the health-promoting criteria, including but not restricted to plants with medicinal, aromatic and nutritional benefits. A monthly newsletter is distributed to our members, each month we feature a profile of one of the plants from the health-promoting species list.
