JAMU: AN ANCIENT HERBAL TONIC

Jamu holds a revered place in Indonesian culture as an essential daily health ritual. Derived from a spectacular array of roots, flowers, herbs, and spices found in Indonesia's diverse landscapes, it draws strength from the rich traditions of the archipelago that are over 1300 year old. In Bali, Jamu has its own distinct tradition, with time-honored recipes passed down through generations and often prescribed by traditional healers.

Traditionally, fresh turmeric is ground into a fine paste and combined with other ingredients to create potent decoctions. These concoctions are gently heated to activate their beneficial properties.

A MULTIFACETED WELLNESS ELIXIR

Jamu is renowned for its multifaceted health benefits, including immune-boosting, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, vitamin C-rich, gut health-promoting, mood-enhancing, energizing, anti-nausea, and menstrual pain relief properties.

COMMUNITY WELLNESS TRADITION

In villages across Indonesia, Jamu Gendong, or Jamu carriers, play a vital role in community wellness. These individuals carry large woven baskets filled with an assortment of medicinal Jamus, delivering health and vitality to their neighbors and communities daily.

A RICH BOTANICAL HERITAGE

To understand Jamu is to appreciate the extraordinary biodiversity of Indonesia. With over 40,000 species of tropical plants worldwide, an estimated 30,000 thrive across Indonesia's 17,000 islands.
