Research into local knowledge is very important in providing a database of medicinal plants and as a basis for further research.

A purposive sampling method was used to select 2,354 respondents (traditional healers) for interviews, 1,042 of whom used Curcuma as herbal medicines. It was found that eight species of the genus were used to treat 73 different ailments. Curcuma longa was found to have the highest relative frequency of citation (0.274) and use value (0.563), and members of the genus Curcuma were found to be extensively used to treat a wide variety of ailments in Indonesia.DYAH SUBOSITISLAMET WAHYONOMBI & UNS Soloarticlecurcuma, ethnic groups, ethnomedicine, herbal medicines, indonesiaBiology (General)QH301-705.5ENBiodiversitas, Vol 20, Iss 5 (2019)
