Abstract

Local wisdom is a legacy that must be preserved and documented. Using plants as traditional medicine is examples of local wisdom. One of the tribes in Indonesia that called Serawai tribe, are still using the surrounding plants as traditional medicine. Documenting local knowledge in making a drug from medicinal plants is part of the implementation of Nagoya Protocol that has been ratified by Indonesia Government in UU RI number 11 2013. Some medicinal plants are used by mixing more than one species to make it a medicinal herb. These medicinal ingredients are often used orally. Therefore, this study aims to document oral formulations based on medicinal plants used by the Serawai tribe in Seluma, Bengkulu. The research was conducted using the exploring method based on informations obtained through open interviews with several key informants. The explorations were carried out in four districts in Seluma Regency, Bengkulu. This research found at least 28 species of medicinal plants that used as ingredients of traditional medicine which are applied orally. These types of medicinal plants contained of alkaloids, phenol and terpenoids.
