The methods and various recipes presented in this book are an accumulation of generations of anecdotal traditional medicine passed generation to generation within the Inti Ombak Pencak Silat / Lakutama family systems. These methods and recipes have not been evaluated by the United States Food and Drug Administration and are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Individuals should always consult their family physician when experiencing any health concerns. The history of the information in this book can be traced through the culturally significant and historical information that has been passed through our family for millennia. The teaching method has always been grandfather to father, father to son. Following these traditions, we have included example recipes that have been used. Ingredients may have different uses so it is important for the user to explore their personal needs and availability of ingredients to find the preference and what works best for the individual. We encourage thought that finds patterns in recipes and invokes curiosities and experiments to better expand the lessons and understanding.
