Abstract:
This article reviews the literature and current information on the use of Galbulimima bark in traditional medicine in Papua New Guinea. Galbulimima bark is used in Papua New Guinea as an analgesic, to treat fever or to get rid of head lice. It is used in divination to produce trance-like states for counteracting malevolent power that is thought to be the cause of a variety of illnesses. Galbulimima bark has also been chewed, or drunk as a decoction, to induce visions and a dream-like state. It is also chewed and then rubbed on the legs before fighting.
