In the o ld days befo r e Europeans came to this country, Abor iginals used the bus h for their source of medicine . Today , when people are sick , they go t o the hospital co be cured and people a r e starting to forget about the Bush Me dicines. Thi s is why we have made this book . It is for Health Workers , school children , and for anyone- else who might be interested, so that the old ways may not be forgotten . If you are out bush, say living on an outstat ion and you get s i c k, you might try bush medicine . It is important that you make sur e you know which plant is which and what sickness you s hould use it for . The plants that appea r in this book were found mainly around Yuendumu, Walkulpu , Lurnpa Kurlangu and Kerridy Creek. However you should be able t o find most of these plants near c r eeks and hills throughout Central Australia . The medicines are easy to prepare and are mainly used as inhalent s , sterilents and liniments . Some barks are used in place of bandages a nd vines can be used to stop bleeding . Some leaves are for smoking , not as cigarettes, but to slow bleeding a nd to hasten healing in childbirth and illnesses . Lastly, some medicines are made to drink and in this case you must be very car eful so as not to poison anyone . Hake sure you have the right plant - ask an old person and wait until you are really s ure because some plants are very poisonou s .
