This delicate fynbos plant has been traditionally used to make herbal tea rich in tannins, known for their natural healing properties. While it may not taste like rooibos, it’s been used in herbal medicine to help with:
• Bladder infections
• Menstrual cramps
• Digestive issues (including diarrhoea and colic)
• Even as a topical lotion
