Dislocated to Alice Springs from their home communities, dialysis patients experienced longing for the traditional remedies used in the bush to remind them of home. Patients and staff of the Purple House in Alice Springs would work together to collect the plants to make up bush balms which patients would share with each other to help cope with the sadness they experienced in being separated from their country and family
