About Bush Medijina

Translating traditional Indigenous native botanical knowledge into modern skincare, Bush Medijina is a natural balm and hair oil brand created by women in the Groot Groote Eylandt Archipelago region of Australia.

Bush Medijina began in a small shed in the Northern Territory, fuelled by a big dream - to nurture and grow a business that could support local Warningakalina women while sharing the Indigenous culture and preserving traditions and knowledge for future generations.

Lovingly developed from recipes passed down from their mothers, aunties and grandmothers, Bush Medijina use the wisdom of First Nation Australian elders to hand make body balms and hair oils, harvesting Australian bush produce and combining with natural ingredients from local suppliers.

Infusing traditional bush medicine knowledge and connection to land with native botanicals, the Bush Medijina luxe balms are bush remedies for the soul, not only soothing body and mind but infusing a sense of the sacred, honouring native Australian practises within self-care routines.

With plant-based ingredients harvested by hand from the Groote Eylandt wetlands and combined with organic coconut oil and essential oils, each balm has a different healing effect for skin and hair. The collection includes Bush Medijina Miracle Balm Skin Sanity with Merrika, Bush Medijina Calm Balm with Mawilyaburna, the Bush Medijina Skin Soothe Balm with Dumburumba and the Bush Medijina a Weeping Tea Tree Happy Hair Oil.

A brand with heart, founded by Indigenous women to support Indigenous women, all Bush Medijina natural balms purchased go to supporting women directly - with 100 % of profits from each sale directly given to the Eningaba Arndirnda (Good Heart) program. A program that provides educational classes for women across healthy cooking, physiotherapy exercises, literacy, and language.
