This is a painting about bush medicine plants that are found in dry rocky areas of central Australia.
Aboriginal women look for this plant after a big rain when the leaves have turned green. The women go out into the bush and collect the green leaves, then crush and boil them, to make medicine to heal colds, flu, pains and skin irritations.
Aboriginal people living in this area know about the healing bush medicine plant and the knowledge about how to find and prepare it. This knowledge is passed down through the generations.
