Abstract
This study explores the medicinal potential of indigenous herbs in Southeast Asia. They are categorized herbs based on their flavor, taxonomy, and plant part, with an emphasis on their wide-ranging applications. The discussion focuses on five key herbs: Tongkat Ali, Misai Kucing, Hempedu Bumi, Kacip Fatimah, and Limau Purut, all of which are renowned for their specific therapeutic benefits. While these herbs offer promising medicinal properties, precautions must be exercised due to the potential for adverse effects and interactions. The findings of previous research shed light on the rich medicinal heritage of local herbs, providing valuable insights for future studies and pharmaceutical development. This review comprehensively discusses both the benefits and precautions associated with the use of local herbs.
