Alternative remedies

I have been reading The Jakarta Post for six years now and I have noticed a marked improvement in the articles and features.

I would particularly like to comment on the Health page of the Sunday Post, which was included in the last two or three editions.

It is very informative. For people like us -- expatriates who have heard a lot about traditional Indonesian remedies -- this is an entrance point to that world. Providing a detailed description of the treatments and the addresses of practitioners is a great help.

Your features on chiropractice and Tuina were very good. If I may make a suggestion, could you kindly tell us more about jamu (traditional medicine) and good jamu practitioners here. Congratulations to the Post for the inclusion of such quality articles. RITU-SIBAL Jakarta Note: Thank you for your input.
