Abstract

With the COVID-19 virus in the world that does not subside, scientists are competing to create various medicines that can be used to treat people who are infected with the virus. Even now, the vaccines distributed by the government have not shown significant results. However, until now, no medicine can cure humans of the virus. One alternative that people can do today is to consume herbal medicine. The purpose of this study is to find out 1) the various types of herbs that exist in Indonesia 2) the benefits of jamu kunyit asam 3) the benefits of the ingredients contained in the jamu kunyit asam, with the hope that the public realizes many easy ways can be done to maintain endurance, one of which is consuming herbal medicine. This type of research is a literature study using qualitative methods and descriptive approaches. Using this method is to describe and summarize the various phenomena that are the object of this research. The results show that there are no registered herbal remedies to treat and prevent COVID-19 in Indonesia. So far, herbal medicines, such as jamu kunyit asam, are only used to maintain the immune system to minimize the possibility of being exposed to the COVID-19 virus.
