- Jamu is Indonesia's centuries-old herbal medicine tradition — kunyit asam (turmeric-tamarind) is the everyday classic
- Buy sealed dried/powdered kits, not fresh bottled jamu, for customs and shelf life; declare all food/plant products at US and Indian entry
- Market-stall fresh turmeric and galangal cannot enter the US/India — dried and packaged only
- A jamu class (Rp 300,000-500,000) plus kit is the best-value cultural souvenir combo
