“Nature’s Medicine: A collection of Medicinal Plants from Malaysia’s Rainforest” is an e-book compiling medicinal plants we call weeds. It features the health benefits of medicinal herbs and plants for public use. Most weeds are found in home gardens and are easily accessible. We call them weeds because we do not have to care of these plants. Weeds, in many cases can be used to fight the flu, cough, ease indigestion, threat poison ivy rashes, snake bites, joint pains and even make a tasty meal as a salad. You may be surprised to learn that identifying weeds in your own yard can be beneficial. This e-book is also intended to serve as a reference guide and create interest among students and scientists to study the wonder of the weeds in greater detail. The weeds are picturesquely presented to enable readers to recognise them at a glance. Their medicinal properties and traditional uses are also highlighted.

Mandi serom, a Malay traditional postpartum bath prepared with a wide variety of plants, is a conventional method used among Malay midwives (bidan kampung) for postnatal recovery and rejuvenation therapy. This study documents the knowledge regarding medicinal plants and traditional uses pertaining to mandi serom (Malay traditional postpartum bath) in the Malay culture. Field investigations included face-to-face interviews and field trips with 15 Malay midwives in different areas within three districts in Kedah. Mandi serom comprises 40 plant species belonging to 26 families, most of which are native species. The most common group of plants is trees, followed by zingibers, herbaceous, shrubs, and climbers. Only three species are similarly used by all the midwives which are Cymbopogon nardus (serai wangi), Lawsonia inermis (inai) and Pandanus amaryllifolius (pandan). The majority of Malay women in Kedah put their trust in midwives to conduct mandi serom during the postpartum confinement period.The plants are used to rid the body of odour, for spiritual cleansing, for hygienic purposes, and to ward off mystical forces known as makhluk halus in the Malay culture. They believe that without proper formulation from the midwife, mandi serom may not be healing and effectual. This is the first systematic study of Malay postpartum bath (mandi serom) in northern Malaysia. This study helps to preserve traditional knowledge of Malay midwifery practice and protect Malay natural heritage, and at the same time these new ethnobotanical records can be subjected to clinical studies and serve as a guideline for women healthcare in Malaysia.
