Abstract

Abstract: Indonesia’s exceptional biocultural richness has long sustained jamu, a plant-based healing tradition that blends empirical practice with cosmological notions of bodily balance, yet in the twentieth century jamu businesses shifted from household decoctions and itinerant vendors into branded, standardized consumer health products; this article traces that transformation through a historical case study of Tolak Angin (Sido Muncul), arguing that the transition was propelled by commodification of family recipes in the early 1900s, state recognition and regulation that framed jamu as “Indonesia’s original medicine” during the post-independence decades, and late-twentieth-century modernization in technology and marketing that introduced ready-to-drink sachets, GMP/CPOTB compliance, and clinical evidence supporting OHT status while repositioning jamu as hygienic, practical, and urban-friendly; using qualitative historical reconstruction from archival and printed sources with rigorous source criticism and chronological–thematic narration, the study shows how industrialization preserved and re-signified jamu into a hybrid good—simultaneously heritage and modern therapy—delivering market expansion without severing cultural meaning; the findings imply that policy can strategically couple standards, R&D, biodiversity stewardship, and cultural branding to grow domestic and export markets and to uplift producer communities; the article’s novelty lies in its historically grounded synthesis linking technological standardization, state policy, and cultural consumption to explain how a legacy remedy operationalizes Indonesia’s health-heritage economy. Abstrak: Keanekaragaman hayati-budaya Indonesia sejak lama menopang jamu sebagai tradisi penyembuhan nabati yang memadukan praktik empiris dengan gagasan keseimbangan tubuh-alam, namun pada abad ke-20 bisnis jamu bertransformasi dari godokan rumahan dan penjual gendong menjadi produk kesehatan bermerek dan terstandar; artikel ini menelusuri perubahan tersebut melalui studi kasus historis Tolak Angin (Sido Muncul), menunjukkan bahwa peralihan didorong oleh komodifikasi resep keluarga pada awal 1900-an, pengakuan serta regulasi negara yang memosisikan jamu sebagai “Obat Asli Indonesia” pada era pascakemerdekaan, dan modernisasi teknologi-pemasaran akhir abad ke-20 yang menghadirkan sachet siap minum, kepatuhan GMP/CPOTB, serta bukti klinis menuju OHT sembari mereposisikan jamu sebagai higienis, praktis, dan selaras gaya hidup urban; melalui rekonstruksi sejarah kualitatif berbasis arsip dan literatur dengan kritik sumber dan penulisan kronologis-tematis, studi ini memperlihatkan bagaimana industrialisasi melestarikan sekaligus memaknai ulang jamu menjadi komoditas hibrida—warisan budaya sekaligus terapi modern—yang memperluas pasar tanpa memutus makna budaya; implikasinya, kebijakan perlu mengintegrasikan standar mutu, litbang, pelestarian biodiversitas, dan branding budaya untuk memperkuat pasar domestik maupun ekspor serta memberdayakan komunitas produsen; kebaruan artikel terletak pada sintesis historis yang mengaitkan standardisasi teknologi, kebijakan negara, dan konsumsi budaya guna menjelaskan operasionalisasi ekonomi warisan kesehatan Indonesia.

Abstract

The presence of international exhibitions in the colonies was often organized by countries in Europe in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Semarang, in particular, once hosted the Colonial Exhibition, conceptualized in a modern way to introduce elements of modernity to the colonies. This research aims to examine the extent of indigenous participation in the colonial exhibition held in Semarang in 1914. The temporal scope is set in 1914 because that year became the time of the implementation of the Colonial Exhibition, which had previously been delayed several times. Using historical research methods in the form of heuristics by collecting primary and secondary sources. Primary sources used include Gedenkboek van de Koloniale Tentoonstelling Semarang, August 20 - November 22, 1914 and Officieele Catalogus Koloniale Tentoonstelling Semarang 1914. Followed by verification, interpretation, and historiography. The findings show that the organization of the Semarang Colonial Exhibition also involved all layers, from the top to the bottom. In fact, a special room was designed to attract indigenous visitors and set with a cheaper ticket price than other visitors. However, this did not result in an increase in indigenous visitors, and in fact was far from what was expected. Moreover, the organization of the Colonial Exhibition in Semarang contributed to the development of Semarang's southern district.
