About Kangaroo Grass Seed
Kangaroo Grass Seed (Themeda triandra) is a herb used in the Aboriginal Australian Medicine tradition to help with Nutritional Support, Digestive Issues, Energy, and Diabetes. The seeds are the part traditionally used, taken internally.
Botanical background
Themeda triandra is a perennial tussock-forming grass widespread in Africa, Australia, Asia and the Pacific. In Australia it is commonly known as kangaroo grass and in East Africa and South Africa it is known as red grass and red oat grass or as rooigras in Afrikaans. It does not do well under heavy grazing pressure, but benefits from occasional fire.
