Bush Tea Leaf

Ocimum tenuiflorum

Janga-ngka-wu ngurnalu manana nyila-ma nalija-ma puntanup. Ngurnalu karrwarnana wananga-la wurruja-pirrji. Yirrap-kari-la-ma ngurnalu boilim kamparnana. Kulykulyu-wu ngarlaka-wu warrngun-ta-wu.

We collect this tea when people are sick. We keep it in a bag until it dries out. Then we boil it. It’s for headaches and congestion.
