Bush medicine has always been a feature of Australian culture. Over thousands of years First Nations people have developed a deep knowledge of the flora and fauna of the continent. Gumby Gumby, Pittosporoum angustifolium, is one such medicine, with many antibacterial, antiviral and antiparasitic properties.
