Question:

Medicines and drugs used by aboriginal and indigenous people??

I've been asked to find out what sort of drugs and medicines are used by aboriginal and indigenous people. I've been looking on google but not much luck. I need to know the name of the medicines (plants or drugs) and what its benefits are... or if they are for a specific illness. Someone PLEASE HELP! Thanks


Answers:

there are a few sites which one of my aboriginal friends gave me for you to look at these actually show you plants and their use for them and how to prepare them, unfortunately to the white society most of the old aboriginal ways have been lost but These sites are helpful http://www.aboriginalartonline.com/cultu... and http://www.roebourne.wa.edu.au/culture/b... or try going to your local museum they will have a whole lot of information as well
