Indonesian Herbal Healing (häftad, eng)

Indonesian herbal preparations and treatments are part of an integrated system of inner and outer healthcare and beauty encompassing natural herbal drinks, powders, ointments, lotions, massage and folklore. The herbal tonics—specifically known as jamu—are drunk daily. In the pages of this book, you'll learn about the world of ancient Javanese palaces where Indonesian Jamu was perfected, the healers and Jamu makers whose skills have been passed down for generations, and the natural ingredients and herbs used in Jamu preparations.

You'll also learn how Jamu is used in Indonesia and about dozens of preparations and treatments you can use at home. This book is the result of ten years of research and over 100 interviews with Jamu practitioners and producers—from housewives and home apothecaries to the CEOs of multinational corporations who produce Jamu products for export.

It is lavishly illustrated with over 100 photographs and is the first definitive book on this subject.
