 In his presentation, Saikhu detailed the efficacy of 12 herbal medicines that were scientifically tested.

 The usefulness of each is to treat arthritis, hemorrhoids, impaired liver function, weight loss, urinary tract stones, facilitating breast milk, physical fitness, blood sugar levels, high cholesterol, gastric or gastric disorders, high blood pressure, and gout.

 Saikhu said there was indeed no herbal medicine that treated Covid-19.  What there is is a herbal medicine that is efficacious to increase immunity.  The herbal medicine consists of ginger, turmeric, and meniran herbs.

 The use of herbal medicine or traditional medicine for Covid-19 had previously been announced several times by a number of officials, including by Minister of Health Terawan Agus Putranto.
