Cockroach Bush | Senna/Cassia notabilis
Lumbilumbi (Bunuba traditional name ) | Wangalj (Gija traditional name)

Cockroach Bush is still used today as both medicine and food in the bush.

Where I live in the Kimberley, Western Australia, the Bunuba and Kija people use decoctions of the branches and leaves externally as a body wash to help reduce high fever, and to treat skin sores and fungal infections including tinea and ringworm.

The sap is also edible and witchetty grubs are dug from beneath the plant and eaten raw or lightly roasted!

• the kapok tree • Cochlospermum fraseribrighten

A true Australian bush tucker plant scattering the landscape where I live in the central Kimberley region, north Western Australia. Its flowers can be eaten raw or cooked, with a mild peppery flavour (delish topped on curries). Its young roots are dug up in the wet season, baked in ashes and hammered to soften before consumption, and its silky seed fluff is traditionally used for body decoration in ceremony by the indigenous peoples of this area.

Local traditional medicinal uses are for fevers, inflammation, and digestive issues.

Kapok is also a calendar tree. When its yellow flowers burst open, it signals that freshwater crocodiles are nesting and certain bush foods are ready - a vital seasonal marker for those living on Country. Its woody seed pods later split to release cotton-like fibres that float on the wind, reminding us of impermanence and the cycles of nature.

This tree teaches me that plants are not just food or fibre - they’re timekeepers, indicators, and part of the living memory of Country.

• GIVEAWAY TIME •

In honour of a total brand re-vamp, and a new product launch on its way, I’d like to celebrate a new chapter on today’s new moon with a giveaway!

Go in the draw to win our newest eBook ‘To Be a Womban - Cyclical Wisdom for Women, & Herbs to Assist All Phases’.

In a world where women’s health is often misunderstood and overlooked, To Be a Womban is a powerful guide to reclaiming the wisdom of our bodies. What began as a personal bible has evolved into an essential resource for every woman navigating the complexities of womanhood.

Too many of us enter this journey unprepared—taught to suffer in silence, dismiss our symptoms, and accept pain as a normal part of life. This eBook shines a light on the lost ancestral knowledge of our cycles, challenging the outdated beliefs that keep us disconnected from our true selves.

With a focus on holistic healing, To Be a Womban empowers women to listen to their bodies, embrace their natural rhythms, and engage in the vital conversations that have been silenced for too long. It’s time to step into our feminine power, honour our cycles, and reclaim our health. This is the guide to begin that journey.

What’s included:
• A herb safety guide with different medicinal herbs to support the hormonal symptoms of being a woman - from puberty, pregnancy, peri-menopause and menopause
• A cycle tool kit including nutrients, vitamins and minerals for support
• A breakdown of the menstrual cycle and reasons to embrace this powerful time
• Food and nutritional support for each phase of your cycle and to keep hormones balanced
• Lifestyle practices for hormonal support of each phase, deeply rooted from ancestral wisdom
• Methods for tracking your ovulation plus much more
