Skin care remedies: bush remedies used by the aborigines

        SKIN CARE REMEDIES: BUSH REMEDIES USED BY THE ABORIGINES
Aboriginal people lived in harmony with their environment. The plants were used generally without elaborate preparation; plant material was often bruised or pounded to be used as a poultice, or extracted with water. Aborigines believed that if a person became ill, he had either done something to offend the Ancestral Beings, or had wronged or injured another person who had then made him sick by sorcery. One cure the aborigines had was to remove the evil substance, then they called on the medicine man, the sharman or the cleaver man or cleaver woman.
Another cure, if the ailment was psychological, the healing ritual was done by the women. They had a special ceremony around the patient through song and dance. The cleaver men and women had special medicines and treatments, which would be used in addition to the faith healing.
Eye diseases were common for aborigines. A lotion was made of native plum-tree leaves and breast milk was used to soothe sore eyes. Treatment for cuts or gashes, they used to put a pad of mud, clay or ashes on the wound, or sometimes the cut was smeared with animal fat. In some tribes a deep wound was closed with an eaglehark feather before being bandaged with paper bark and kangaroo skin.
In Arnhem land the aborigines chopped up flower stalks, mixed them with warmed urine, and applied them to spear wounds. Some tribes used mud or ashes to dress wounds with no other treatment survived frightful wounds.
