Bush Medicine for rubbing
$441.00
This painting shows a special bush medicine plant. Aboriginal women use this plant to help people feel better. They rub it on the skin to heal sore muscles and aches.
The plant grows in the rocky, hilly parts of Central Australia. After a big rain It has bright green leaves. The leaves are sticky and sharp at the ends. Aboriginal people in remote areas can find this plant by its special smell.
In the painting, you can see curved symbols, these shapes are the women, they are sitting on the ground, working together. They are collecting the leaves using digging sticks and a coolamon—a shallow wooden bowl to carry it in.
The women gather, prepare, and share this medicine. This is not just about healing the body. It is also about keeping knowledge and culture strong, passing it from one generation to the next.
