Hello friends in Amazing Drinks Community, today I will share a recipe for a herbal drink, in Indonesia it is usually called herbal medicine / Jamu. Indonesia is a country with a tropical climate that is rich in various spices and herbal plants. Therefore, in Indonesia there are many herbal medicines to prevent and treat various diseases. Traditional Indonesian society believes that herbal medicine has many health benefits, even treating cancer. Many people have recovered from cancer with herbal treatment.
Today I will make herbal medicine curcuma. Curcuma herbal medicine is usually used to overcome the problem of difficulty eating among children. Apart from that, curcuma herbal medicine is also used for people who have weight problems, namely people who are too thin. By drinking curcuma herbal medicine, it is hoped that you can increase your appetite so that your weight starts to rise. Usually herbal medicine sellers will go around the village in the morning or evening, carrying baskets of herbal medicine on their backs, they always provide curcuma and tamarind turmeric, because this herbal medicine can be drunk by anyone and is one of the herbal medicines that is always sought after by buyers.
The main ingredients I use are Curcuma rhizomes and a little turmeric rhizome, I also add tamarind and palm sugar, if you don't have palm sugar, you can replace it with brown sugar. I like making my own Curcuma herbal medicine, that's why I plant my own Curcuma and turmeric, I don't need to worry about manufactured fertilizers on Curcuma and turmeric plants, I don't use manufactured fertilizers for herbal plants in my garden.
