Emu Bush

Emu Bush (E.alternifolia) and Weeping Emu Bush (E.longifolia) are known for their antiseptic/antibacterial therapies to treat wounds and skin infections and both contain D-limonene. Decoctions of leaves from both plants were traditionally used topically as a hot bath by the First Australians to treat skin infections.
