Bush Vine Dreaming – Ngalyipi Jukurrpa

This dreaming tells about a special tree that everyone uses for medicine. It helps cure aches and pains in the joints, headache and snake bites. The vine is wrapped around the head, arm or leg and is left till the pain is taken away. Ngalyipi is like the bush banana Yuparli plant, it winds around trees from ground upwards. The Ngalyipi vines has round leaves, it does not have any edible fruits, it is poisonous. The Snake Vine Ngalyipi is used for everything.  We used to put it over our water carriers to keep the water cool and keep other grass seeds out.
