Jilungin is a relative of the Kakadu Plum which grows across the Kimberley Region of North-Western Australia and is revered for it's potent sleep-inducing powers which for thousands of years was used for deep, dreaming sleep.

The process begins during the dry season (March to September), where Aboriginal harvesters hand-pick the leaves and the stems, washing them, before drying them using the sun. The 'gim' (sap) is prized, and is gathered for the potent sleeping effects. The gim is found in the leaves and more strongly in the stems, so both are gathered for a stronger tonic.

After being sundried in the hot sun, the leaves and stems are packaged together inside of boxes and taken to the closest town (Broome) for road freight to Melbourne.

This is then boxed, and shipped to us, where we pack them by hand into smaller sachets. With each purchase, we provide financial support to the Nyul Nyul Community so they can expand their harvest and grow their supply.

This gives Traditional Owners the economic opportunity to harvest their unique land and cultural assets for financial gain in one of Australia's most remote regions.
