BANISH burns, rashes, and irritation… with this scented ‘skin weed’?
If you’ve got red, sensitive skin…
And you’re looking for something that could SOOTHE it… or even HEAL what’s irritating it…
You might want to look a little farther than your own backyard.
In fact… you might need to look to another HEMISPHERE!
Because the key to irritation-free skin could be growing across the globe… in Australia.
Before 1996, you could get this “Bush medicine” ingredient ONLY from the wild…
But recent developments have allowed it to be cultivated into a commercial crop… so it can become more accessible to other parts of the world.
In fact, some might say it’s part of the FUTURE of Australian agriculture!
Gukwonderuk(Centipeda cunninghamii) is a flower in the daisy family used by Aboriginal Australians as a kind of “cure all” in their practice of herbal medicine.
Its name from the Koori tribe translates literally to mean “old man weed”…
Although when European settlers encountered it around 150 years ago, they more commonly called it “scentweed” for its minty, piney fragrance.
Contemporary research has revealed that this Australian native daisy’s main medicinal characteristics are anti-inflammatory… antioxidant… and antimicrobial.
So, it’s no “wonder” that when used topically, this herb helped HEAL some of the skin cuts and burns experienced by indigenous peoples “Down Under”…
And help SHIELD them from dangerous skin infections, too.
That’s not all…
Because despite its “elderly” nickname, those actions I just mentioned… which comes from this herb’s rich content of flavonoids… could also help fight aging.
Although it may not cure EVERYTHING having to do with skin… it does appear to be an “all-purpose” remedy for MULTIPLE skin conditions, including…
- dryness
- irritations (including allergies)
- rashes
- burns
- and more.
The key compounds in gukwonderuk appear to be thymol, which is more commonly associated with its presence in the culinary herb, thyme… as well as caffeic acids.
You might find either one of those included in products sold at the cosmetic counter…
But they’re not likely to have the same effects… ones that have been TREASURED by Australian tribes for HUNDREDS of years… as what you’ll find in gukwonderuk.
Now, you may have NEVER heard of gukwonderuk… but that’s partially because you won’t hear it called by that name anywhere outside of Australia.
In fact, it’s the star ingredient in a commercially available skin cream called Renucell, which contains a patented version called Phyoloxin.
Another patented gukwonderuk extract, called Plantolin, has actually received backing from the Australian national government… and is available in the Australian-made “Luv UR Skin” product line (which is available for purchase online and actually ships free to the U.S.).
And believe it or not, there’s a third patented version of gukwonderuk extract – called Phytoplenolin.
Look for any of these in the ingredient list of natural sunscreens… skin creams… moisturizers… and more.

P.S. A traditional Amish remedy for skin burns also contains caffeic acid… and could help HEAL common skin issues like eczema, psoriasis, and acne. Click here to find out what it is.
