Purple House

Bush Balm is a bush medicine social enterprise based in Alice Springs NT, founded to provide no cost bush medicine for Purple House dialysis patients. It is an initiative of the Purple House, a non-profit community-controlled Indigenous health service based in Central Australia and working in remote communities across the NT, WA and SA. Bush Balm products are made from wild-harvested bush medicine plants picked by community on country in Central Australia. The product labels and gift packs are wrapped with the stunning paintings of artists from the communities Purple House works in. In particular, the work of Papunya Tula artists who were part of the November 2000 fundraising art auction at the Art Gallery of NSW, which enabled the founding of Purple House. The Bush Balm shop is located in the Purple House Social Enterprise Hub in East Side, Alice Springs, and the products are available on the Bush Balm website. A small group of Purple House patients also undertake creative activities through our well-being program. This includes the creation of ceramic artworks and drawings used on textiles, which are sold in the Bush Balm Shop alongside work from local community-controlled art centres based in Central Australia.
