Traditional medicines in Indonesia encompass products derived primarily from plant-based ingredients, sometimes combined with animal or mineral substances. These products are processed into various forms such as jamu, standardised herbal medicines (OHT), and phytopharmaceuticals. The rising global demand for such products is driven by a growing interest in natural health remedies, affordability compared to modern medicine, and innovative packaging that attracts younger consumers.
