Traditional Healers of Central Australia: Ngangkari gathers the firsthand stories of the Ngaanyatjarra people, illuminating the quiet power of desert healers who have mended body and spirit for millennia. This 2013 Magabala paperback pairs their accounts with striking illustrations, turning a remote cultural practice into an intimate, reader-friendly journey.

The book spans bush medicine, mental wellness, and Anangu spirituality, making it a rich resource for students of natural therapies, Australian history, or anyone curious about holistic health. Its 272 pages balance scholarship with storytelling, offering both practical plant lore and the deeper cosmology behind every healing touch.

This gently used copy is in very good shape: clean pages, tight binding, and no writing, tears, or dog ears. Just a hint of sun-fade to the covers and a small mark on the closed page edge hint at its previous life on a careful reader’s shelf. A smoke-free home keeps the book fresh and ready for yours.

Collectors of Australiana, alternative-medicine seekers, and art-and-culture buffs alike prize this accessible window into Ngangkari work. Secure this copy today to explore one of the world’s oldest continuous healing traditions, delivered fast from a trusted Australian seller.
