The immense diversity of Indonesian spices and herbs has a long history dating back to many centuries ago. In fact, Indonesian herbs have been used as traditional medicine since time immemorial. Evidence for this can be found in various sources, such as ancient palm leaf manuscripts, scriptures, and temple reliefs. From these sources it becomes clear, that traditional recipes of alternative medicines have been handed down from generation to generation. Moreover, in modern day society, the efficacy of many traditional Indonesian medicines is now also recognized by scientific research institutes and contemporary pharmacy industry. Hence, Indo Magic would like to share local knowledge about traditional medicine in Indonesia, and by doing so we wish to contribute valuable information on this most interesting subject, which, hopefully, will thereby offer new insights for the benefit of many.
