“Not too long ago, the Cayman Islands were
three lonely little islands, crowded with tangled
wilderness and visited only by hurricanes. In those
days, people lived on what they could harvest from
the land and sea.
Early Caymanians learned what could harm them,
what could heal them, what could nourish them
and what could shelter them.
They roofed their houses with silver thatch and
framed their walls with sturdy Ironwood. They
washed their clothes with Washwood and cured
their ills with plants like Headache Bush and
Fevergrass.
Bush Medicine played a unique role in survival of
early Caymanians at a time when doctors were few
and far between.”
