Abstract

Maparaji tradition is a form of local wisdom that is still maintained by the Sundanese people in Pameungpeuk, Garut, West Java in the current era of medical treatment. This study aims to reveal the local wisdom values in birth indigenous knowledge through paraji practice in Garut, West Java. This research method uses an ethnographic method, through observation, interviews and documentation. The results of the study reveal that there is a series of local wisdom in the birth indigenous knowledge in Pameungpeuk, Garut, West Java covering the period of pregnancy, birth process and postnatal care. So it can be concluded that the existence of paraji cannot be separated from Indonesian culture, especially in West Java. In the context of local wisdom of birth, paraji has an important role in various reproductive medicine traditions including pregnancy test, childbirth, postnatal care, pamali, and birth ceremonies such Opat bulanan ceremony, Nujuh bulanan ceremory, and Marhaban ceremony. Traditions and practices carried out by paraji are always colored by traditional and religious values.
