"This volume is a sequel to Traditional Bush Medicines - an Aboriginal Pharmacopoeia, published in 1988. The purpose of this work underlying both books was to record for posterity the use by Aboriginal people of native plants and other materials for therapeutic purposes, knowledge still existing in oral tradition. A secondary objective was to confirm, through chemical analysis, the therapeutic value of the materials used as traditional medicines by Aboriginal communities in the Northern Territory."
