Wings of Gold - Malaysian Airlines Inflight Magazine

A commissioned article about traditional Malaysian medicines...

Plant Wonders...Traditional medicine is a integral part of the lives of the many tribal people of Malaysia. The Iban, Kayan, Penan, Muruts and Kadazan commonly use plants for medication. The women folk gather and prepare forest plants to sell at 'ramus' or local markets. They are an important link with the forest apothecary and believe that the forest has a life force of its own; anybody entering the forest without permission from the plant's guardian may get lost or will not be able to locate the plant they are searching for.
