ONE OF OUR LAST REMAINING ARTWORKS BY GLORIA who sadly passed away in 2021.
The Bush Medicine Plant refers to a species of acacia used as part of traditional Indigenous healing. Women collect leaves from the plants and boil them to extract resin. The resin is then mixed with kangaroo fat, resulting in a paste. This paste can then be used to heal bites, wounds, cuts and rashes and also as an insect repellent. Additionally, the leaves from the plant canbe brewed to make tea and can be used to alleviate symptoms of the common flu.
