The results of the research obtained 6 ethnobotanical studies, namely a herbaceous plant (botany) planted next to the house (ethno-ecology), and used for the treatment of swollen feet, stomach pain, restoring energy after childbirth, and hot powder (ethno-pharmacology). Jeringau is believed to keep away the negative influence of supernatural beings (ethno-socioanthropology), used mainly for its own needs as raw material for making medicine (ethno-economy). Jeringau is named for its finger-like leaves and net-like properties (ethno-linguistics).
