INTRODUCTION Drinking Jamu is a tradition that sticks to Indonesian culture, in which this habit is inherited by the Indonesian ancestors to promote health, prevent or cure illness. While modern western chemical medicines were introduced only for the last 150 years along with western medical practice in Indonesia. Empirically, jamu has been proven to be effective and safe because back to a century ago, there is no combination use with chemical therapeutic drugs.
