jungurrayi jungurrayi

This is a herb-like plant. It grows in many places, on the sides of hills and in floodouts. There are two kinds, male and female. The male jungurrayi jungurrayi has bigger leaves than the female. You pull up the whole plant and take it home. You trim it there. The new shoots are better - you can put them under a blanket with a baby sleeping on top, and the baby can smell that plant. Or you put them in a coolamon or at the pillow side. This is good for anyone with colds, coughs or flu. You can also boil the new shoots and make kids have a bath with the water or steam them as an inhalation.
