Indonesia is the largest archipelago in the world,
located between two oceans, the Pacific and the
Indian, and bridging two continents, Asia and
Australia. It consists of more than 17,000 islands,
including five main islands - Java, Kalimantan
(Borneo), Irian Jaya (Papua), Sumatera and Sulawesi.

population of around 220 million, as one of the
world's 'mega centers' of biodiversity for her wide
range of natural habitats, rich flora and fauna

around 515 mammal species, 122 species of
butterflies, 600 species of reptiles, 1531 species of
birds, 270 species of amphibians, and 28,000
flowering plants.
About 6,000 species of plants are known to be
used directly or indirectly by the people. The
use of plants in the production of traditional
herbal medicine or "Jamu" is very common.
As the largest tropical forest in the world,
Indonesia has species-rich forests that harbor
the world's greatest diversity of palms; more
than 400 species or 70 per cent of the world's
dipterocarp species (the most valuable timer
species in Southeast Asia) including ebony,
teakwood, and sandalwood; and 122 species of
bamboo. The country also has over 350 species
of rattan and produces three-quarters of the
world's rattan cane.

QUESTIONS 1. Can it be taken by
teenagers/youths or unmarried ladies? Will
there be side effects?
Highly recommended because according to
WOMAN , her mother insisted on her taking this
jamu as soon as she got her menses. No side
effects. (and will reduce the smell of menses)
2.Can a woman having her periods consume the
jamu?
- Most encouraged since the jamu will clear out
all the blood clots. That is why women who are
in their post-natal period must drink the jamu
to rid off all the remaining blood in the womb.
3. Is it recommendable for those who
have rheumatism to take the jamu? -
Usually for those who strained due to
hard work would feel pain at the joints.
The jamu would actually enhance blood
circulation and improve the general
condition of our body. Thus, this would
give a sense of lightness to the body.
4. Is there any side effects from consuming
this jamu?
- ME and OTHER WOMAN have been taking it
for quiet a number of years. I’ve never had any
negative side effects. We consume it once
after every two or three months (for a week).
