JAMU is traditional (suspension) medicine in Indonesia, originally from Java island. It is predominantly herbal medicine made from natural materials, mostly from parts of the plants, such as roots, bark, flowers, seeds, leaves and fruits. occasionally taken with additional animal products, like raw egg yolk and honey or milk.
These herbal medicine are commonly sold throughout the country by Mbok Jamu, I would prefer to translate it in English as “Ms. Herbs”, young to middle-age Javanese woman in a traditional “kebaya” dress, roving around residence, local markets, recreational parks or even along the streets, carrying bamboo basket filled with bottles of jamu on her back, offering her self-made herbal medicine ingredients. They commonly starts offering their products from daybreak.
As medicines mostly taste bitter, palm sugar syrup is always ready to refresh our mouth.

JAMU adalah obat (suspensi) tradisional di Indonesia, berasal dari pulau Jawa. Obat herbal yang terbuat dari bahan-bahan alami, sebagian besar dari bagian tanaman, seperti akar, kulit kayu, bunga, biji, daun dan buah-buah. kadang-kadang diminum dengan tambahan produk hewani, seperti kuning telur mentah dan madu atau susu.
Jamu ini biasanya dijual di seluruh negeri oleh Mbok Jamu, saya akan lebih memilih untuk menerjemahkannya dalam bahasa Inggris sebagai “Ms. Herbs”, wanita-wanita Jawa, muda sampai setengah baya dengan memakai pakaian tradisional “kebaya” keliling di sekitar tempat tinggal, pasar lokal, taman rekreasi atau bahkan sepanjang jalan, membawa keranjang bambu diisi dengan botol jamu di punggungnya, menawarkan ramuan jamu buatannya sendiri. Mereka umumnya mulai menawarkan produk mereka dari saat fajar.
