5 INDONESIAN HERBAL MEDICINE : WHAT S INTERESTING ABOUT THAT? Indonesia is known as a warehouse of medicinal plants so it gets the nickname of Life Laboratory. About 30,000 species of medicinal plants are owned by Indonesia. With the richness of the flora, of course Indonesia has the potential to develop herbal products whose quality is equivalent to modern medicine. Only about 1200 species of medicinal plants are used and researched as traditional medicine. Some species of medicinal plants originating from Indonesia's tropical forests are actually used by other countries. For example, Japanese researchers have patented about 40 active compounds from plants originating from Indonesia. Even some of the drugs whose raw materials can be found in Indonesia have been patented and massively produced in other countries, giving a great advantage to the country (Johnherf, 2007). Herbal plants or Indonesian Traditional Medicine is a nation's cultural heritage that needs to be explored, researched, and developed in order to be used more widely by the community. The definition of traditional medicine is ingredients or derived ingredients from plants, animals, minerals, sari (galenic) preparations or mixtures of these ingredients, which have traditionally been used for experiential treatment. In Indonesia, traditional medicine classified into three groups, namely Jamu which are traditional herbs that have not been clinically tested, Standardized Herbal Medicine that is traditional medicine that has passed the pre-test clinical stage with animal test, and Phytopharmaca is a traditional medicine that has passed the preclinical test and clinical (applied to humans). Indonesia, which has various types of herbs, managed to attract users. Not only from within the country, foreign tourists became interested in the efficacy of herbal plants are offered. No wonder, the number of tourists increasing in the area that produce many herb plants, one of them Yogyakarta. In addition to offering natural beauty as well as a very beautiful cultural area, Yogyakarta also offers a variety of natural products directly from natural materials. 5

18 ABOUT INDONESIA AND YOGYAKARTA Republic of Indonesia is a country in Southeast Asia, located on the equator and between the Asia and Australia continents and between the Pacific and Indian oceans. Indonesia, since it lies between two continents and two oceans, is also known as the Archipelago Islands. Consisting of 17,508 islands, Indonesia is the largest archipelago in the world that spreads from Sabang to Merauke. The country is passed by the equator line, making it has a tropical climate with two seasons; dry and rain season. The tropical climate makes Indonesia has one of the greatest biodiversity in the world, the second after Brazil. You can find some biodiversities, anything from rain forests, great lakes, long rivers, high mountains, amazing under water corals, etc., in Indonesia. Each corner in Indonesia has a lot of exciting things. Indonesia, with a population of 260 million people in 2010, is the fourth most populous nation and the most populous Muslim country in the world, although not officially an Islamic state. Jakarta is the Indonesian capital city. The borders of the country include Malaysia on Borneo Island, Papua New Guinea on Papua, and East Timor on Timor Island. Other neighboring countries include Singapore, Philippines, Australia, and the union territory Andaman and Nicobar Islands in India. Indonesia, from Sabang to Merauke, consists of distinct ethnics, linguistics, and religious groups. Java is the largest tribe and most politically dominant. Indonesian national motto, Unity in Diversity, represents the country. Indonesia has 34 provinces, including Yogyakarta (or locally called Ngayogyakarta Hadiningrat). Yogyakarta is one of famous provinces in Indonesia, not only known well by local, but also international tourists because of its nature and culture. 18

19 Yogyakarta was founded by Prince Mangkubumi (Sultan Hamengku Buwono I) in 1755 as a result of Giyanti Agreement. It grew up into a city rich in Javanese cultures and arts. The centerpiece of the development of art and culture is the empire. A variety of classical Javanese arts, such as dances, songs, geguritan, gamelan, paintings, literatures, and carvings, were developed from the palace. Later, the arts become folklores. The unity of the community and artistic values is strong, making Yogyakarta never runs out of trained artists. In addition to cultures, ancient architectural treasures, such as Water Castle, Sultan Palace, Pakualaman Palace, Prambanan Temple, and various Museums, also have their own magical things for the tourist, both local and international. These entire exciting things make Yogyakarta becomes the second primary regional tourism destination in Indonesia. 19

20 TOURISM IN YOGYAKARTA KRATON NGAYOGYAKARTA HADININGRAT (SULTAN PALACE) Kraton of Yogyakarta (formally known as: Keraton Ngayogyakarta Hadiningrat) is a palace complex located in the downtown of Yogyakarta, Special Region of Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The palace is the main seat Sultan of Yogyakarta and his family. It serves as a cultural center for the Javanese people and contains a museum that displays the sultanate s artifacts. Kraton means the place where the ratu (in English: Queen, in Javanese also mean: King) resides. The word Keraton (Keraton is living quarter of the royal family in the palace) (shortened form of ratu/karatuan) derived from the word Ratu which in Malay means king. The palace was built according to Javanese Philosophy and is shroud- ed by mysticism. The spatial arrangement of the palace, including the cityscape of the old city of Yogya- karta, including its architecture, direction of buildings, and objects all belongs to the mythological value and belief system of the Javanese. The main street of the old city forms a straight line from Tugu Yogya- karta, Kraton, Mount Merapi to Krapyak Hunting House. The layout mean the origin of human beings and their last purposes (Javanese: sangkan paraning dumadi). The road from Krapyak Hunting House to the palace symbolizes the first creation of men stage to adult- hood. The villages surrounding Krapyak Hunting House are named Mijen from the word Wiji (seed). Along the way Tamarind and Spanish cherry trees are planted to represent the journey from childhood to adulthood. It then goes to Tugu Yogyakarta and finally ends at the palace, meaning the end of human life and meeting the Creator. And finally the seven gates of Gladhag to Donopratopo means the seven step to Heaven. TUGU YOGYAKARTA (YOGYAKARTA S LANDMARK) Tugu Yogyakarta (Gilig golong monument) located on the north side of the old city is a symbol of unification between the king (golong) and the people (gilig) (Javanese: manunggaling kawulo gusti). It also symbolizes the final unity of the creator and His subjects. Gate Donopratoro (Gate to Kedaton quarter) means a good person is someone who is generous and knows how to control his lust and the two Dwarapala statues, named Balabuta and Cinkarabala, each represent good and evil. The palace s magical artifacts are believed to have the power to repulse evil intention. 20

21 PRAMBANAN TEMPLE Prambanan Temple Compounds consist of Prambanan Temple (also called Loro Jonggrang), Sewu Temple, Bubrah Temple and Lumbung Temple. Prambanan Temple itself is a complex consisting of 240 temples. All the mentioned temples form the Prambanan Archaeological Park and were built during the hey- day of Sailendra s powerful dynasty in Java in the 8th century AD. These compounds are located on the border between the two provinces of Yogyakarta and Central Java on Java Island. While Loro Jonggrang, dating from the 9th century, is a brilliant example of Hindu religious bas-reliefs, Sewu, with its four pairs of Dwarapala giant statues, is Indonesia s largest Buddhist complex including the temples of Lumbung, Bubrah and Asu (Gana temple). The Hindu temples are decorated with reliefs illustrating the Indonesian version of the Ramayana epic which are masterpieces of stone carvings. These are surrounded by hundreds of shrines that have been arranged in three parts showing high levels of stone building technology and architecture from the 8th century AD in Java. With over 500 temples, Prambanan Temple Compounds represents not only an architectural and cultural treasure, but also a standing proof of past religious peaceful cohabitation. BOROBUDUR TEMPLE The Borobudur Temple Compounds is one of the greatest Buddhist monuments in the world, and was built in the 8th and 9th centuries AD during the reign of the Syailendra Dynasty. The monument is located in the Kedu Valley, in the southern part of Central Java, at the centre of the island of Java, Indonesia. The main temple is a stupa built in three tiers around a hill which was a natural centre: a pyramidal base with five concentric square terraces, the trunk of a cone with three circular platforms and, at the top, a monumental stupa. The walls and balustrades are decorated with fine low reliefs, covering a total surface area of 2,520 m2. Around the circular platforms are 72 open work stupas, each containing a statue of the Buddha. The vertical division of Borobudur Temple into base, body, and superstructure perfectly accords with the conception of the Universe in Buddhist cosmology. It is believed that the universe is divided into three superimposing spheres, kamadhatu, rupadhatu, and arupadhatu, representing re- spectively the sphere of desires where we are bound to our desires, the sphere of forms where we abandon our desires but are still bound to name and form, and the 21

22 sphere of formlessness where there is no longer either name or form. At Borobudur Temple, the kamadhatu is represented by the base, the rupadhatu by the five square terraces, and the arupadhatu by the three circular platforms as well as the big stupa. The whole structure shows a unique blending of the very central ideas of ancestor worship, related to the idea of a terraced mountain, combined with the Buddhist concept of attaining Nirvana. PARANGTRITIS BEACH Parangtritis is a popular tourism beach and village area on the southern coast of Java in the Bantul Regency within the province of the Yogyakarta Special Region. There is a good road to the area which is about 30 km south of the city of Yogya- karta, located just on the border between Bantul and Gunung Kidul regencies. Quite large crowds of mainly local tourists visit Parangtritis over weekends and at holidays. Larger tourist buses as well as various types of cheaper minibuses ply the route to the beach from Yogyakarta. There are local tourist facilities at Parangtritis including parking arrangements, modest hotels which provide visitors with places to change and shower, and small restaurants. Often small ponies or horse-drawn carts can be hired for rides along the beach. Tourists also visit some of the various caves and springs in the cliffs and hills near Parangtritis, such as the Gua Tapan cave and the Beji spring, which are quite close to the beach, Parangtritis is sometimes said to be a place to meet the legendary Nyai Roro Kidul (also known as Ratu Kidul) or Queen of the South. Local folklore warns visitors not to wear green clothes or the queen is likely to try to entice the wearer into the ocean to drown. The beach is not really a good swimming beach. Drownings are unfortunately not uncommon at Parangtritis, partly because many Indonesians have never had the opportunity to learn to swim and partly because channels, strong rips and sizable waves often occur off the beach. TAMAN SARI WATER CASTLE Taman Sari Water Castle is the site of a former royal garden of the Sultanate of Yogyakarta. It is located about 2 km south within the grounds of the Kraton, Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Built in the mid-18th century, the Taman Sari had multiple functions, such as a resting area, a workshop, a meditation area, a defense area, and a hiding place. Taman Sari consisted of four distinct areas: a large artificial lake with islands and pavilions located in the west, a bathing complex in 22

23 the centre, a complex of pavilions and pools in the south, and a smaller lake in the east. Today only the central bathing complex is well preserved, while the other areas have been largely occupied by the Kampung Taman settlement.since 1995, the Yogyakarta Palace Complex including Taman Sari has been listed as a tentative World Heritage Site MALIOBORO Jalan Malioboro (English: Malioboro Street) is a major shopping street in Yogyakarta, Indonesia; the name is also used more generally for the neighborhood around the street. It lies north-south axis in the line between Yogyakarta Kraton and Mount Merapi. This is in itself is significant to many of the local population, the north south orientation between the palace and the volcano being of importance. The street is the centre of Yogyakarta's largest tourist district surrounded with many hotels, restaurants, and shops nearby. Sidewalks on both sides of the street are crowded with small stalls selling a variety of goods. In the evening several open-air street side restaurants, called lesehan, operate along the street. This is the street of the artists. Street musicians, painters, and other artists exhibit their creations on this road. Less obvious to the tourist, but more for the local population, side streets, lanes and structures that lead on to Malioboro are as important as the street itself. BATIK Batik (Javanese pronunciation: [ˈbatek]; Indonesian: [ˈbatɪk]) is a technique of wax-resist dyeing applied to whole cloth, or cloth made using this technique. Batik is made either by drawing dots and lines of the resist with a spouted tool called a canting (Javanese pronunciation: [canting], also spelled tjanting), or by printing the resist with a copper stamp called a cap (Javanese pronunciation: [tjap]). The applied wax resists dyes and therefore allows the artisan to colour selectively by soaking the cloth in one colour, removing the wax with boiling water, and repeating if multiple colours are desired. Many Indonesian batik patterns are symbolic. Infants are carried in batik slings decorated with symbols designed to bring the child luck, and certain batik designs are reserved for brides and bridegrooms, as well as their families. Some designs are reserved for royalties, and even banned to be worn by com- moners. Consequently, a person s rank could be determined by the pattern of the batik he or she wore. Further study to the geometry of symbolism in Indonesian batik showed the applicability of fractal geometry in traditional designs. Batik garments play a central role in certain Javanese rituals, such as the ceremonial 23

24 casting of royal batik into a volcano. In the Javanese naloni mitoni ceremony, the mother-to-be is wrapped in seven lay- ers of batik, wishing her good things. Batik is also prominent in the tedak siten ceremony when a child touches the earth for the first time. In October 2009, UNESCO designated Indonesian batik as a Masterpiece of Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity. GUDEG Gudeg is a traditional Javanese cuisine from Yogyakarta and Central Java, Indonesia. Gudeg is made from young unripe jack fruit (Javanese: gori, Indonesian: nangka muda) boiled for several hours with palm sugar, and coconut milk.
