Dipaunka Macrides is an alchemist, teacher, author, aromatherapist and herbalist elder in Gidgeegannup, WA on Nyoongar country.
In this interview we explore Dipaunka's world andhis influences and inspirations as a herbal medicine teacher. We talk about his dispensary which boasts over 350 tinctures- 90% of which he makes himself. We uncover Dipaunka's motivations to become a herbal educator and discuss the importance of regarding the plants as teachers and having a direct relationship with them.
Dipaunka has been in clinical practice since 1982 when he first started doing massage. From there he began making his own massage oils. After having completed a massage course and an Aromatherapy course, he started Rosewood Natural Skincare., which was originally called Riverbank Natural Therapies.
Dipaunka's background in and love of Herbs plus Aromatherapy have obviously been contributing factors in the formulations he produces as well as having an over-actively creative mind .
He seeks to empower people to facilitate their own healing via healthy eating, lifestyle and awareness of themselves and their bodies as well as through Herbal courses.
Dipaunka loves to share knowledge, if one does not share knowledge, the knowledge dies with you when you pass on. He has studied many things in this lifetime . He is a Sweat lodge Facilitator which are a wonderful adjunctive and complimentary healing tool to working with The Herbs /Plant Spirits. Dipaunka utilises Shamanic Practices and dives deeper into The Majikal world of Herbs and Healing on a daily basis .
