JAKARTA - Central Java Governor Ganjar Pranowo invites his citizens to drink herbal medicine to maintain body immunity during the pandemic.

This was conveyed by Ganjar at the launch of the Herbal Drink Movement at the Central Java Provincial Government Office in Semarang, Friday, June 18. Ganjar said that drinking herbal medicine is good for maintaining body resistance during the COVID-19 pandemic.

"The Drinking Jamu Movement feels like we really have to 'gas pol' again," he said in an online event broadcast by Antara.

"Those who understand about jamu and its benefits can help explain, educate the public that drinking herbal medicine will be healthy, then we will all also consume domestic products. Jamune payu, awake dewe is healthy," he said.

Ganjar also encouraged medical personnel and health workers who treat COVID-19 patients to drink herbal medicine every day.

"That (herbal medicine) if given to friends who are in health workers, in hospitals, who are in the community every day, it will definitely be very useful," he said.

Ganjar also told that some friends in Europe contacted him and asked about Indonesian spices.

"The natural wealth that is given to us, the number of empon-empon, the number of raw materials for this herbal medicine, we have to examine ourselves so that we can use it so that we can use it well," he said
