Both Aboriginal and early white inhabitants in Australia had to rely heavily on medical cures which were literally at hand . Wild Medicine in Australia provides a wealth of information on the tremendous range of native and naturalised species which have been used to treat coughs, colds, bites, burns, sprains, stings and indigestion; remove warts; lower blood pressure; cure diseases such as chickenpox, measles and leprosy, and act as aphrodisiacs, fertility drugs and contraceptives.Scientific and common names, details of distribution and directions for the preparation of each plant for medical use are provided together with fascinating data on the ways in which substances such as clay, ash, animal fat, bird feathers and even hairy caterpillars can be pressed into medical service."
