'This dreaming tells about a special tree that everyone uses for medicine. It helps cure aches and pains in the joints, headache and snake bites. The vine is wrapped around the arm on leg and is left till the pain is taken away. Ngalyipi is the bush banana Yuparli plant, it winds around trees from ground upwards. The Ngalyipi vines has round leaves, it does not have any edible fruits, it is poisonous. The Snake Vine Ngalyipi is used for everything.' (Source: Jaktman website)
