Traditional Aboriginal healer
Traditional Aboriginal healing is as old as the culture itself. Over a long time Aboriginal healers built a body of knowledge based on the resources they found on the land.
But while Australia is recognised as having “advanced policy development and support for traditional medicine”, this is not because of Aboriginal healing, it’s because of the official embrace of Chinese medicine. Simply put, Aboriginal traditional medicine has not been researched a lot.
In the Anangu Pitjintjatjara Yangkunjatjara (APY) lands in northern South Australia traditional health knowledge is still alive and well, and working in a contemporary setting. The Elders who are working as healers are called Ngangkari, a Pitjantjatjara word that literally means ‘traditional healer’. In the Flinders Ranges they are called Yura urngi in the Adnyamathanha language.
