Reviewed By: Dr. Songul Budak Diler Department: Reviewer/CMRO ABSTRACT Background and objective: Ethnomedicine plays an important role in the maternal healthcare practice of the Serawai tribe of Seluma district, Bengkulu, however, its use has never been documented. This study, therefore, conducts an ethnobotanical survey to document the medicinal plant used for traditional maternal healthcare in the Serawai tribe. Materials and Methods: The indigenous knowledge was gathered through interaction and questioners with traditional healers. Results: The study provide information on 52 species belonging to 33 different families. Most of the reported plants belong to Zingiberaceae (13.5%), Euphorbiaceae, and Poaceae (5.8%). The result of life form analyses showed that herb constituted the highest proportion of medicinal plants (42.3%), followed by the tree (25%), with leaves (50.9%) as the most utilized plant parts for preparation of traditional herbal medicines. Approximately 80% of plant material are found in the surrounding village, with herbal remedies mostly prepared in the form of decoction (57.7%) and orally administered. However, among the 16 categories of diseases a total of 8 species were affected by excessive bleeding. Conclusion: The result showed that medicinal plants had played significant roles in the management of maternal healthcare. The constraints associated with the use of this medical treatment process, is the poor interest of the younger generation in carrying out this tradition. This, has therefore, lead to a significant threat to medicinal plants. It is, therefore, necessary to preserve the indigenous knowledge on traditional medicine by proper documentation, identification of plant species used, and herbal preparation for future usage.
