Hate to tell you this, but I'm my own source.  I'm in Australia and I'm a 
distributor for herbs - from 50 grams upward.  That's why I can tell you about 
many of the less well known herbs [South American, etc] - Many of them I use 
regularly.

I went and checked that I was right that it comes from South Africa and 
indulged in a protracted aromatic inhalation.  Lovely to sniff.  

Contact me off list for more info.

Regards,
Judith.

    Buchu leaf is very pleasant just on its own as an alternative herbal drink. 
 Use just 3 leaves and pour boiling water over them - remove them almost 
immediately.  They can be used three times.  

    Use fresh leaves three times a day for treatment Take 1/2 teaspoonful in a 
cup of boiling water and steep for 5-10 mins. Remove leaves and drink. Take 
some any time you feel niggles in the bladder area.

    Hi Judith, 

    Sounds pretty good.  Would you mind sharing your source for the Buchu 
leaves?
    I don't think that my local health food store has any. Thanks a lot.
