Add a Cape Town classic to your cleansing blends. Indigenous to the Western Cape fynbos, this mighty shrub was relied on for centuries by the San, Khoi and later adopted by the Cape settlers. The leaves were traditionally brewed for teas, infused into vinegars and brandy and used as a natural household remedy (like keeping insects at bay).
♡ Why we love it: If you’ve worked with buchu before, you’ll know that blackcurrant-like scent from its rich essential oil profile. Compounds like buchu camphor (diosphenol), menthone, limonene and traces of pulegone give it its bright aroma, making it a sought-after flavouring in beverages, a fragrance in oils, and a botanical for potpourris, sachets and blends.With regards to herbalism it’s included in cleansing and urinary-support blends - functioning as a minty fresh diuretic.
