Will our Bush Medicine work for you?

Our Bush Medicine has healed so many people in our community in all sorts of ways.

However, every person is of course different, with our varying immune systems and diets having an impact on how and why illness appears differently from one person to the next. This can also have an effect on the way in which Bush Medicine responds, though if it doesn’t solve your issue completely, it should certainly provide relief upon application.

Depending on the severity and how long you've been suffering from a particular skin related issue, our Bush Medicine may need to be used for a longer period before you see results.

You can explore our FAQ section for more information.

Please note: While our Bush Medicine has been used for healing for thousands of years, we cannot make any medical claims. Instead we are guided by the results of our customers and wisdom of our ancestors. Like with any product, it’s always best to patch test before use, and while our ingredients are pregnancy and breastfeeding safe, we recommend checking in with your health care professional before introducing any new products to your skin.

Ingredients

Olive Oil has anti-inflammatory properties as well as moisturising the skin.

Beeswax has many healing properties, so it made sense to include it as a key ingredient. Bees also have their own cultural connection for us, as they are part of the pollination process for trees, growing beautiful flowers.

Irmangka Irmangka translates to “Bush Medicine” in our Kokatha/Yunkanyjatjara language. Commonly referred to as Emu Bush, it’s an arid plant known for its strong anti-inflammatory, pain-relieving, and skin-nourishing properties. Grown in the Western and Central desert regions of SA throughout our homelands, it has been used as a healing medicine by our ancestors for thousands of years.

How To

Rub into the affected area 2 times daily until symptoms ease. Safe to use during pregnancy. 

Bush Medicine should not be applied to festering sores or open wounds, particularly in eczema-affected areas, as it is oil-based and needs the skin to be relatively dry and not weeping.

Testimonials

    Its become my emergency 101 balm that lives in my basket and we have all been loving it so much. Been magic on small grazes and as an anchor point for bumps at the playground etc. and for a hand and lip balm when I need some extra richness.

    — Madeline

    This Bush Medicine is absolutely amazing!! Its healing properties are effective, gentle, subtle and an absolute blessing!! I had what appeared to be a fungal rash for approximately three months. On occasion it would burn, itch and hurt. I started applying Palyani a couple of times a day. It immediately took the burning sensation away, and over the period of a couple of weeks, healed the rash completely. Thank you to all involved in the production of this precious Medicine! Your knowledge and wisdom are a true Blessing to the World!

    — Kim

    I love this stuff. I have eczema on my fingertips of all places and I put it on like 4 to 5 times a day and at night I use it on my hands and fingers and wear gloves and it’s made a big difference.

    — Michelle

    I’ve been using the balm on my baby's face, he had a really red and flaky chin from dribbling because he is teething at the moment. I used the balm on him for 3 days and it’s cleared up! His skin is back to normal. Thanks so much.

    — Kione

    I absolutely LOVE this product! When I used the Bush Medicine after a couple of days I saw the results. Rash, itch and pain were minimal if not completely gone. It worked great! Since then I ordered 2 more to share with friends and family. I highly recommend this product. Thank you Charlie, for passing on what worked for your daughter.

    — Jean

    I’m using the Palyani ointment for a severe psoriasis rash on both ankles and lower legs. I no longer get the horrible pain and the rash is slowly improving. The main thing for me was alleviating the pain which caused me to take 3 or 4 Advil tablets, just to get some relief. Thank you for this amazing remedy.

This was my second purchase and i will be making a third.
The balm has been used on cuts, bites, scars, bruises and even on moles and warts. Positive results wherever we use it. It is soothing and comforting.
Thank you for this balm

This has been the only product that truly worked for my heels

This has been the only product that truly worked for my heels. I’ve dealt with calluses and dryness for years — even after pedicures, the dryness would return the very next day. I’ve tried castor oil and other Indian Ayurvedic oils, as well as hand-poured creams made with lavender and magnesium, but none of them made as much difference as this one. With this product, the results have been remarkable. I now use it all over my body, and on my daughter’s suggestion, even on my face. She noticed her skin becoming smoother, and when I tried it too, I saw a visible difference. The only thing I’d wish for is a small booklet included with the package to explain all the ways it can be used, especially on the face.

What a Relief !

I've purchased and shared this product with my friends and family . I tried many products and nothing worked , including prescriptions. I developed psoriasis and the Palyani Balm eased the symptoms and cleared it up after daily use for about 2 weeks. I'm so thankful for this product.
