Thank you.
There's not really very much out there, but you might try this.
C. cunninghamii (A. Br. & Aschers.) is a perennial herb, part of the daisy family, native to Australia. It is known by the common names of “Old Man Weed,” “Common Sneezeweed,” “Scent Weed,” and “Gukwonderuk.” According to the promoters of products which include the plant’s extracts as ingredients, it’s been used for centuries by Aboriginies for numerous health complaints, including external applications for wounds or skin diseases.

Unlike many other plants which have been used traditionally as medicine, there have been no articles about C. cunninghamii in the peer-reviewed medical literature available on Medline. Not one in the last 37 years.

As stated in the article, just because aborigines used it doesn't mean that it works to any great degree. I won’t come right out and call it a scam because I don‘t know enough about it, but it sure smells like one.

De nada. I thought you might appreciate it.
