Pegagan is a wild plant that grows short on the ground. It can be used for traditional medicine. It can make our memory became stronger. Not many people know the purpose of Pegagan, even in my area.
We can find Pegagan near the rice fields, around the house, and any other places. It is usually grows together with grass or bushes. You can easily find this plant although it grows on a grassy land because of its shape. Yes, its leaves' shape is unusual. It is rather round and looks like heart's shape.
We can consume it by chew it, drink the boiling Pegagan water, or add Pegagan into other traditional medicine (‘jamu’). It tastes a small bit bitter if you eat it. But if you drink its boiling water or make it as a jamu, its flavor will not affect too much.
Until now, not many people consume it. I think it is caused by the difficulty to find Pegagan. Of course, you can't find Pegagan in the city. You only can find it around the fields or grassy land. Maybe Pegagan does not have many purposes. However, it's better than consume chemical medicine, isn't it?

:: Letter from Friend 06 ::
There are many herbal flora in Indonesia. Traditional medicine prepared the ingredients from the special plants that growth in the wild area that we never imagine before.
In my home village, I found a special plant has many advantages for us. We call it ‘sambiloto’ (Andrographis Paniculata Ness), family of Acanthaceae. It was an original tropipcal plant. It growth as weeds, any easy to find it on the field bund, the edge of the road, or other ‘wild’ areas, including the yard of my house. Dark green leaves could be distinctive feature beside the little or white flower above.
Sambiloto can be used as antiseptic for us. I rubbed that leaves on m skin to cure my itches. It's also good as a mouthwash, by soaks into the clean and warm water first. You may swallow it if you stand the bitter one. Even, if you've got the fever, the ‘andrographolide’ inside will makes your temperature going better.
Beside antiseptic and antipiretic effects, the most important of Sambiloto advantage is to against the malaria. We need a handful of fresh leaves, clean it and boil with 3 glasses of water. We have waiting till a half of it, and filtering it on. You may add some honeys to neutralize the taste, and drink it regularly to cure the diseases.
It was the one of special plants in my environment. There are many other which has empirical recipes that we don't know about. Perhaps, when the chemical formulas can't cure the diseases anymore, it will be our time to go back to the nature, like our for father ever do thousands years ago. So, we must keep it as the part of germ plasmas in the world.
