Integria continues to proudly collaborate with several northern Australian Indigenous communities and Menzies School of Health Research.
The initial phase of the project from 2018 through to 2021 was a success in identifying a number of Indigenous medicinal plants with unique potential to benefit the wider Australian community.
The project continues with a focus on documenting the efficacy and safety of several priority plant species. This includes the traditional methods of preparation and methods of use, coupled with scientific evaluation of the chemical composition of the plants.
The collaborative project has also continued implementing training initiatives for Indigenous students in sustainable harvesting, management of medicinal plants, as well as scientific and laboratory skills for the analysis of medicinal properties.
Collectively, we aim to build an inclusive community with strengths and knowledge to help in identifying the unique benefits of Australian native medicinal plants with an underlying respect for the Indigenous people’s connection of nature and medicine.
