Abstract

Diseases in society are classified into two types: naturalistic diseases, caused by natural factors, and personalistic diseases, caused by supernatural factors. Traditional medicine knowledge is practiced by communities using natural resources in their environment. Personalistic diseases require special treatment by traditional medicine practitioners. This study aims to explore the community's perspective on the existence of Wong Pinter and the model of traditional medicine knowledge transmission carried out by Wong Pinter. The method used is a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques in the form of observation, interviews, and literature studies. The data were analyzed using Cavalli-Sforza and Feldman's Cultural Transmission theory. The results showed that the existence of Wong Pinter in Watuaji Village, Jepara Regency, is still needed by the community to treat illnesses. Wong Pinter has spiritual authority and legitimacy in the community, giving them high social status. The vertical transmission model is obtained orally and experientially from parents or grandparents. Meanwhile, diagonal transmission is obtained from Wong Tuo-tuo and Guru Mursyid. These different transmission sources produce different types of knowledge, namely Ilmu Sapan and Ilmu Bidah. Horizontal transmission is obtained from interactions with peers by passing on collective medical knowledge.

Abstract

This article examines local communities' knowledge of tobacco plants, offering a different perspective on the general reality. The paradox of biomedical discourse on tobacco is constructed by the community holistically as traditional medicine. This study uses a longitudinal ethnographic qualitative approach. Data were obtained through participant observation and in-depth interviews with tobacco farmers, tobacco smokers, community leaders, and cultural experts. The researchers also collected ethnobotanical inventory data using the triad test and pile sorting techniques to identify plants used for medicinal purposes. The results of this study show that tobacco is associated with rituals and medicine, thereby constructing a perspective on the paradox of biomedical discourse. Tobacco is legally consumed in the form of rokok lintingan to relieve stress, warm the body, and treat hoarseness. In addition, the community uses it to care for teeth and treat external wounds with its sap. This study reveals the existence of holistic cognitive ethnobotany practices in traditional medicine. Domain analysis found that ecological conditions determine the emergence of interactions between the community and tobacco plants, which serve as a "savior." The results of free listing, salience analysis, and folk classification indicate that the Kemloko 2 and 3 tobacco varieties are the most widely used. This research presents an empirical perspective on tobacco that does not contradict biomedical claims. This study can serve as a reference for developing holistic and sustainable public health programs.
