JAMU
This book is available Today to order.
Jamu: an integrated system of inner and outer health and beauty. Indonesian jamu has a 1,200-year-old history but is virtually unknown outside of that country. Now, an experienced writer has devoted herself to understanding jamu: its history, its applications and its potential for use outside its native environment. Author Susan-Jane Beers first encountered jamu after pain-killers failed to relieve her joint pain. A prescription from an expert made the pain go away. Now, in Jamu, she chronicles the practice of this holistic system, the materials and ingredients it employs and its rich background dating back to the ancient Javanese palaces where it was perfected. Complemented by over 100 photographs, Jamu is the first definitive reference to this exotic yet practical health-care system.
Susan Jane Beers
From the editor:
Little-known in the U.S., jamu is the Indonesian practice of herbal healing for medical, sexual, hygienic, and cosmetic complaints. Beers relates some of jamu's long history, and the many color photos of plants, scenery, and prominent individuals make for an appealing as well as an informative book. Those associated with jamu say that its preparations have few or no side effects and can cure or substantially ameliorate almost any disease. The gendong, or practitioner, of jamu may come from any level of education and society, and much of jamu lore is in poetic form and so can be learned by the novice.
