- Abstract
Herbal medicine has been used empirically worldwide including in Indonesia but is not recorded properly yet. This analysis aimed to obtain the herbal medicine service patterns especially the combination of treatments, amount and types of herbal preparation. Jamu Registry was an observational study on electronic medical recording of herbal medicine services by medical doctor on 10 health problems in several cities of Indonesia. A total of 54 medical doctors participated in Jamu Registry 2016 and 2018 recorded 1660 visits of 565 patients aged 10 to 85 years old (mean 49,8), treated with herbal medicine. More than half patients (68.1%) were diagnosed with single diagnosis, 24.4% with one comorbidity, and 7.4% with two comorbidities. Most patients (70.4%) were treated with herbal medicine only, while others combined with conventional medicine (22.0%), other traditional modalities (4.6%), conventional medicine and other traditional medicine (3.0%). Numbers of herbal medicine prescribed were varied from one to five. The herbal preparation types were extracts in capsule (38.6%), infusion (31.5%), ground dried herbs in capsule (25.8%), and the others were decoction, syrup, fermentation liquid, ground dried herbs, or brewed herbs. The top 5 diagnoses recorded were dyspepsia, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, hemorrhoid, and arthritis. Almost three quarters patients had no comorbidity; most patients were treated with herbal only, mostly in form of capsule and infusion. Herbal medicine services need to be recorded continuously to enrich the traditional medicine health services data.
