Bush Medicine & Functional Plants

What is Bush Medicine?

Bush medicine refers to the ancient traditional Aboriginal use of native Australian plants for physical & spiritual healing. Bush medicine involves taking the leaves, fruit, bark, sap and/or roots of specific native plants, and preparing them in a way that their medicinal properties are activated. These remedies have been used to treat conditions ranging from upset stomachs and infections, to burns and rashes, and many illnesses in between.
