My Outback Bush Soaps Co Aboriginal bush medicine ingredients

Bush Medicine's Evolution in History

For millennia, Aboriginal people have relied on native plants as a customary source of medicine. Understanding and
appreciating Aboriginal culture depends much on this old habit.

Aboriginal wellness is predicated on the conviction that the body is inextricably linked to the ground and that repairing the relationship between the two will help to restore health. Considered as gifts from the earth, plants help to support a great spectrum of bodily and spiritual situations.

Inspired by this age-old custom, My Outback Bush Soaps product range is designed to help both physical and spiritual healing, our handcrafted products are made using conventional techniques and materials.

Our bush is always fresh and collect it from country. We think that developing good health and wellness results depends on our relationship to the ground.

Our items are created with love and care; thus, we hope they will enable you to relate with your own inner healing ability.

First Nations people are dedicated in sharing our traditional knowledge with the world. We think that among tools for health and vitality, our items are rather effective.

Being part of a rich Aboriginal culture makes us proud, and we are dedicated to continue it for next generations.

We hope you will travel with us towards all-embracing wellness and healing promotion.

Important Note

Australian Law and processes governing bush medicines makes it very hard and expensive to register products under the Therapeutic Goods Act (TGA). As we are not registered under the TGA we cannot legally make medicinal claims about our indigenous knowledge and products. No Australian indigenous bush medicine business has ever successfully registered their products under the Therapeutic Goods Act. Our business and livelihoods matter and we want to see this change.

Our Distribution Centre is located at 53 Barkly Highway, Miles End QLD 4825, and is open from 9am to 4pm (look out for our open flags when we’re trading). You can also find our products at Outback at Isa, 19 Marian Street, The Gap QLD 4825.
