Gurdy Root tea

> I have looked on the internet and at Lexicon, and can not find information about Gurdy root tea. What are the properties. Why would you drink it? It is a real thing in the Muggle world? And if so what is is called there?  Thanks.

Well...I did some searching on the net and the only non-fanfiction evidence I can find of it seems to lead back to Luna. For instance she tells Ron in HPB chapter 20 that they are excellent for warding off Gulping Plimpies and in DH where Xenophilius offers them an infusion of gurdyroot which apparently tastes awful. So I'm suspecting that gurdy roots might not exist in the wizarding world either...

Joeydebs, who would love to be corrected if she's wrong!
