1: 0:00:00 (ndoobulab, setli for going on wounds. Alimum for on fevers. We wash with it and fevers go. Alimum for mesil, we inhale it's vapours. We can also heat water and get Moli, Wab or onombuli leaves. We get grass, cook it in water. We cover it and inhale the vapours. If we cut ourselves we get banana trunk, cook it and twist it onto the wound, there's also ongulumee, we squeeze that on too.) 2: 0:01:41 (If we take bush medicine we get better) 3: 0:02:26 (people that get better don't have thinking, if they still have musu pinot then they won't get better, the pain will be big, so they should get good thinking) 4: 0:03:17 mohis honnot malasin nom holoogul asam heb ig toloo malasin nom endet iba holoo iba holoo omoo om his endee holoo his (if we don't go to the haus sik we use bush medicine and we also have to put our talk, same for the big medicine we talk to God.

(the Matat vocabulary is quite different) 1: 0:00:00 (we have something to put on sores, we have leaves too. We put banana sap onto sores. igəm sog goes on sores. kulum tukultum tandenn is for diahorrhea. kondugangil is for belly pain. mangas leaves. kulilo simonn. tobacco leaves go on sores. Sugar can be used) 2: 0:02:57 (yes we put banana and koniak sap on sores) 3: 0:03:25 (it goes on sores) 4: 0:03:39 (said alimom instead of alimum, they didn't know it) 5: 0:03:44 (tum keligel, yonnoo? yes we use ninno) 6: 0:04:26 (If God hears the sick person then they will get better, they take medicine and get better) 7: 0:04:53 (many will get better if they have white man medicine. Our ancestors didn't have it. Now medicine has come with you guys and we'll get better)
