The Impact

This paper focuses upon the importance and value of local Indigenous Knowledge and how it is being threatened in today’s modern world rather than being leveraged to catalyze development. The author specifically calls out three types of Indigenous Knowledge: (1) medicinal knowledge related to human health, i.e., herbal medicine; (2) sacred groves – geographic areas set aside to preserve plants and animals and that can help to mitigate the impact of climate change; and (3) living libraries – communities of people who are also holders of cultural wisdom and history and who are custodians of all knowledge relating to the history of their own community. The author makes a call to action, requesting that scientists, librarians, publishers, and others in the information community collaborate and move forward together to save and build upon global Indigenous Knowledge.

Abstrak Sejak dahulu nenek moyang kita telah menciptakan berbagai ramuan obat yang berasal dari tumbuh-tumbuhan untuk mengobati sakit atau memelihara kesehatan. Tradisi tersebut di antaranya tertulis dalam naskah-naskah kuno yang tersebar di berbagai daerah di Indonesia. Di antaranya disebutkan berbagai jenis penyakit yang sering diderita masyarakat dan berbagai jenis tumbuhan yang diramu untuk obatnya. Dalam perkembangannya, hasil riset para ahli mengungkapkan bahwa herbal yang digunakan dalam pengobatan tradisional tersebut terkandung berbagai zat yang bermanfaat bagi kesehatan. Dari hasil penelitian diketahui bahwa sistem pengetahuan tentang pengobatan tradisional di Desa Juntinyuat merupakan warisan dari leluhurnya. Masyarakat Juntinyuat hanya meneruskan tradisi pengobatan yang sudah ada. Pengobatan tradisional yang mereka lakukan mencakup semua jenis penyakit yang diderita. Mulai dari penyakit ringan sampai penyakit yang berat, bahkan untuk memelihara kebugaran  dan kesehatan badan.  Mereka merasakan manfaat pengobatan tradisional meskipun tingkat kemanjuran obat tersebut memerlukan waktu yang lebih lama. Bahkan lebih efektif digunakan untuk memelihara kesehatan daripada untuk penyembuhan. Dari situ  muncul tradisi minum jamu di kalangan masyarakat untuk memelihara kesehatan badan. Pengobatan tradisional ditempuh sebagai  upaya pertolongan pertama atau darurat sebelum berobat ke medis. Namun demikian, apabila penyakit tidak dapat disembuhkan secara medis atau pengobatan secara medis tidak terjangkau biayanya, masyarakat kembali lagi ke pengobatan tradisional.      Abstract  Our ancestors has created herbal remedies either to cure illnesses or for health care. Those recipes were written in old manuscripts and are scattered around Indonesia, mentioning some common diseases and herbs that cure them. Modern research reveals that herbs used by our ancestors contain elements that are beneficial to human health. The result of this research shows that knowledge system about traditional medicine in Desa/village Juntinyuat is inherited from their ancestors. The remedy covers ailment to severe diseases, as well as health care and body fitness. Although it takes quite long enough to get well, the people of Juntinyuat feel the remedies are very useful. They are even more useful for health care than to cure illnesses. This fact leads to practice of taking jamu (herbal medicine) for caring health, and this is the first aid before seeing the doctor. But, if seeing the doctor does not work and the cost is considered high, they will turn back to the traditional medicine.
