Mawilyaburna Bush Soap Bar

Description

Mawilyaburna (Liniment) is traditionally used for soothing the mind and relieving aches and pains. We pick Mawilyaburna (Liniment) leaves from swampy areas.

We boil the leaves and traditionally use these for treating minor colds, headaches, stress and muscle tension.  We add Lemon Oils also help to soothe the body and soul. Some variances in colour may occur with each bar due to the different ingredients collected and prepared prior to manufacturing and the handmade nature of the bars.
