At Jamu-Jamu™,
we believe in the sacredness of this Earth.
Our mission is to care for the fragile world
in which we live, to keep alive the ancient
traditions of herbal medicines and remedies,
and to preserve the beautiful mystery of
nature. We also recognize the need to positively
contribute to the local and national communities
in which we operate.
The
connection to our values is on our very
own doorstep. Instead of mourning vanishing
plant life, we are committed to the preservation
of the wild herbs and healing plants of
Indonesia that are in danger of disappearing.
We live in a country where, for centuries,
traditional knowledge has been passed down
from father to son and mother to daughter
and is always only a generation away from
extinction. Furthermore, the Indonesia archipelago
lies within the wet tropical zones of this
planet, home to vast areas of rainforest
together with countless unique species.
When the forests are logged, cleared and
burned, the local people cease collecting
medicinal herbs and soon begin to forget
the healing properties – and even
the existence – of these plants.
