Jamu is a treasured heritage of Indonesia, passed down through generations and evolving across the archipelago for hundreds of years. In this episode, we explore how jamu has grown beyond its roots as a traditional herbal remedy to become a subject of scientific research, academic development, herbal education tourism, and an integral part of today’s growing health and wellness movement. Together with our distinguished guest, Dr. Nyoman Kertia, a specialist in Internal Medicine, Chair of the Yogyakarta Regional Jamu Council, and Professor at Universitas Gadjah Mada, we gain valuable insights into the journey of jamu—from a time-honored tradition to an evidence-based approach to health and well-being. This discussion examines the role of academia in advancing jamu, opportunities for integrating jamu into modern healthcare systems, the potential of herbal education tourism, as well as the challenges and future prospects of jamu in an increasingly globalized world. It is an inspiring conversation that offers a fresh perspective on how Indonesia’s local wisdom can continue to grow, innovate, and gain recognition on the global stage.
