Aherre-Aherre, also known as Native Silky Lemon Grass, is a native Australian plant valued for its fragrant leaves that are crushed to treat influenza, chest infections and skin sores. The leaves and roots are also used in rubbing medicines.
Inhaling this plant's strongly scented leaves treats the colds, aches and pains.
Aherre-Aherre can be found growing in watercourses and on rocky hills. Recent research has found that Aherre-Aherre can offer much of the same pain relieving properties as Aspirin.
