A Little About The Farm

At the tip of South Australia's Eyre Peninsula at the base of the outback in Banggarla country is a unique farm. Blue Mallee trees were planted decades past to assist with carbon capture in an otherwise baron countryside. The wheat farmers turned into essential oil producers when they saw the advantages of encouraging these trees to regrow by harvesting them for oil distillation. This offsets any potential declines in wheat production due to drought and has the added benefit of regenerating the trees and improving in carbon capture in a highly machined area.

Distillation Method

This plantation is machine harvested, then distilled onsite using a purpose built system designed and constructed by Native Oils Australia. It uses on-site tank water that is cooled and returned to the tank at the end of the distillation process.

Reduces bacterial contamination
Relieves congestion

This is a familiar smelling essential oil that has been used for decades to relieve headaches; reduce cold and flu congestion; assist with pain relief brought on by arthritis; soothe sore and strained muscles; reduce symptoms of sinus inflammation and cleanse insect bites and itchy skin. Beyond the medicinal applications which should only be treated by a professional, Blue Mallee has a strong history of use in the cleansing rituals of first nation cultures.

It’s high 1.8-cineole content is behind the superior therapeutic aspects and can explain its usage as an insect repellent and natural insecticide, as well as being a leading contender in a vast array of household cleaning products. The use of Blue Mallee oil globally outstrips demand for Australian produced oil and we are lucky to have our very own made available to you through Aussie Bush Aromas.
