“…Postnatal care is also important for restoring the mother's stamina after giving birth. Nutmeg, clove, turmeric, galangal, ginger, and cinnamon are also used in TM to boost women's stamina after giving birth [41][42][43], as WTH did on Ternate Island.…”

Traditional medicine (TM) is still used by some tribes in Indonesia to treat and cure a variety of diseases, including maternal and child health care. A Biang, or Woman Traditional Healer (WTH), is a woman who uses herbal plants to practice TM for the health of mothers and children. Indeed, the herbs and ingredients used are frequently undocumented, putting the sustainability of TM in jeopardy. TM practices are also practiced on Ternate Island, and no research has been conducted to date on the identification and documentation of local knowledge of WTH in the use of herbal plants. The purpose of this study was to identify the characteristics of the WTH who practice on Ternate Island, as well as to identify local knowledge of WTH and to document herbal plants used in caring for the health of mothers and children. The descriptive explanatory research method was used, and data were collected using a semi-structured questionnaire guide. Snowball sampling was used to obtain respondents, and the data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The average age of the thirty-eight WTH respondents was fifty-three years old. They have a primary school education (92.1%), and some have attended traditional medicine training (60.5%). All WTH use herbs in traditional medicine practice (100%), and their healing skills were entirely inherited from their parents. WTH used 32 herbal plants, with postnatal care receiving the most attention. Given the significance of TM using herbal plants, more research is needed to determine the safety of these plants.

Sumber Bakti Village, Suka Makmur District, Nagan Raya, was the site of an ethnobotanical survey. Suak Bugis with a peat area is the name of this location. Plants are increasingly being used as medicine in traditional medicine treatment efforts. The use of therapeutic plants in the Suak Bugis area, however, has not been adequately documented or scientifically validated. As a result, this study was conducted to document the varieties of medicinal plants utilized by the community in Sumber Bakti, as well as traditional knowledge about the use of plants as medicine. To collect ethnographic data, the snowball sampling approach was used. The interview was detailed and candid. Semi-structured and in-depth interviews were done. The data was analyzed using the quantitative value of the ethnomedicinal index (UV). This study resulted in the identification of 31 plant species from 18 families that are employed in traditional medicine. The Zingiberaceae family is the most prevalent. The leaves are the most commonly used portion. Plants as medicines can be used to improve public health by serving as standards in traditional medications and conventional medicinal formulations.

“…Makjun sejuk is a post-natal traditional medicinal herb formulated from a mixture of macerated fruit, the stem of E. elatior, Zingiber officinale (ginger), Kaempferia galanga (kencur), Curcuma longa (turmeric), Zingiber cassumunar (bangle), Zingiber zerumbet (lempuyang), Foeniculum vulgare (anise), Nigella sativa (black cumin), and Piper nigrum (pepper). The perceived effectiveness of these herbs is to relieve postpartum fatigue, restore body stamina, accelerate wound drying, shed bloodstones, and shrink the stomach (Zumaidar et al 2019). The use of aromatic plants in the concoction of makjun sejuk, specifically the Zingiberaceae species, is related to secondary metabolites, which contain aromatherapy and essential oils (Batubara et al 2016).…”

“…Tapal is produced from a mixture of macerate of fruit Etlingera elatior with whiting and is used as a stomach potion for postpartum mothers. Furthermore, it is believed that the use of these herbs promotes uterine contractions, thins the abdomen, removes bloodstones, and accelerates the dehydration of the uterus (Zumaidar et al 2019). The concoction of macerate of E. elatior with a mixture of Curcuma longa (turmeric), Zingiber officinale (ginger), Alpinia galanga (galangal), and Oryza sativa L. var.…”

Abstract. Saudah, Zumaidar, Darusman, Fitmawati, Roslim DI, Ernilasari. 2022. Ethnobotanical knowledge of Etlingera elatior for medicinal and food uses among ethnic groups in Aceh Province, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 23: 4361-4370. The tribes in Aceh Province have been using Etlingera elatior for various medicinal purposes and as a spice in their culinary. Nonetheless, detailed information on the uses of E. elatior among communities in Aceh is lacking. Therefore, this research aimed to explore the ethnobotanical knowledge among local tribes in Aceh regarding the uses of E. elatior for food and medicine. This research was conducted on eight ethnic groups in Aceh Province (i.e., Acehnese, Gayo, Alas, Aneuk Jamee, Kluet, Tamiang, Singkil, and Simeulue). The data collection was carried out by using semi-structured interviews and field observation. A total of 240 respondents (135 male and 105 female) were selected purposively to obtain local knowledge on the uses, processing techniques and modes of application of E. elatior for medicinal and food purposes. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the data to determine the level of knowledge and plant parts used, both measured in fidelity level (FL). The results showed that men, elderly people and farmers had more knowledge about the uses of E. elatior as medicine and food ingredients. Traditional medicines made from this herb were used to cure coughs, sprains, postpartum and earaches. Makjun sejuk, pareng, lampok and tapal were the concoction used in traditional medicine. Stem and fruit were the most commonly used plant parts for medicinal herbs, while pounding was the most common processing technique followed by squeezing and grinding either singly or in a mixture used by drinking and rubbing. The uses of E. elatior in food were found in several local dishes with the most common use in a curry called Pliék U. Flower buds and fruit was the most commonly used part in food ingredients. Despite the unique and high uses of E. elatior among tribes in Aceh, the gap in knowledge, especially between the older and younger generations, might impact the loss of local wisdom regarding the plant.
