#bushmedicine — Public Fediverse posts

My first hand exprience with Aboriginal curated bush medicine.
The leaves of a tree had been boiled creating an oily fragragrant brew with anti-inflamatory properties.
The leaves & the brew were then massaged gently onto my hands over some bruises and the treatment accelerated the recovery & their full disappearance.
The brewed substance although oily evaporated very quickly and left no stains whatsoever.

And what made it more memorable was that the masseur was a famous Australian Aboriginal artist (Dhopiya Yunupingu!)👍 😍 :awesome_rotate:
