Literature Review
Some people and traditional healers have two concepts which can
caused a disease, that is naturalistic and personalistic. They said that cause of
naturalistic is someone who got a disease because of her/his neighborhod,
foods, bad habits, imbalance body, also include belief like their body became
hot and cold which like catching a cold disease and conginetal disease.
People who lived in Jatiarjo Village, Pasuruan, East Java still used
“suwuk” as the one of treatment choice. Even though this village which near
from the Taman Safari II have the facility of health and medical personnal
who is adequate. “Suwuk” is traditional medicine with used some spells and
prays from a shaman which placed in glass of water or a potion from some
plants. This medicine is not only for human, but it can also for things like
wedding invitation until work application letter.
The student said that this traditional medicine “suwuk” which still
available in Jatiarjo cause of some factors social-culture. People still believe
with magical things and believe that some diseases are not reasonable, so it
can’t be heal with used medical treatment.
Besides that, the others factor which make that traditional medicine
still survive is habits of people who came from their generation and searching
a treatment which is fit or not.
Most people also think that traditional medicines are more safety
because it used nature ingredients which for a long time won’t caused a bad
effects for our body. Then, the others benefits of traditional medicines are easy
to find it in around our house and traditional market. Because of that too, most
people prefer to used it besides that it their habits from their generation to
make their body can be heal from a disease.

Until now, Kaempferia Galanga has been used for tonic, that is swollen
medicine, cough medicine, stomachache medicine, less body sweats, appetite
enhancer, bacterial infection, expectorant (pull out sputum fast), dysentery,
carminative, for make our body can be warm, for body slimming, for body
refreshing , medicate wounds and stomach which got swollen, gout, cough
medicine, stomachache (Anonymous, 2000).
Some methods to make a cough medicine from this plant is with used
Kaempferia Galanga and a little of salts. First, grated Kaempferia Galanga and
put that essence. Add a little of water to make the taste not too thick and spicy,
then stirring it all. This potion can be drink after we had breakfast and before
we go to sleep so that cough disease can be heal soon. Besides that,
Kaempferia Galanga has a warm sensation which can make our body be warm
and make our breathing be smooth.
The other of methods that we can do for cough medicine is with grated
Kaempferia Galanga until it became smooth. Meanwhile, boiled a cup of
water on the pan. Add that Kaempferia Galanga which has been grated on the
pan, and boiled until it is boilling. Strain it and drink it twice a day for make
cough disease can be heal.
I was born in Surabaya and I lived in Surabaya too. So, I choose that
topics because of my mother gave me the information about Kaempferia
Galanga. Kaempferia Galanga is traditional medicine which used for cough
disease, although there are so many benefits of that plant.
When my mother got cough disease, she always use this plant to make
her can be heal from that disease. She used some methods to make a potion for
herself and she never replace that traditional medicine with the others. She
told me that she got the information about that plant from my grandmother.
Evidently, my grandmother always use this method since she was young and
my mother also told me that my grandmother got it from her grandmother. So,
from that I think that is habit from generation to generation then it became a
culture. Cultures in health which can’t be replaced although now everything is
modern and there are so many things that we can be used for healing our body.
But my mother still used that methods.
So, that’s why I think that culture in health until now still be the one of
nursing in cultures because the result is no doubt and it really make our body
can be heal although with just a little of money and it also about habit from
generation to generation which in the end became a culture which always do
by the next generation and in the next future generation. And then, from that I
found the real result of benefits from Kaempferia Galanga. It’s not just a story,
but it’s real.
