"Several ready-to-drink traditional herbal remedies along with their contents and benefits that can be used to help maintain health:"

"Drinking herbal medicine every day is actually fine, but it is safer to consume herbal medicine that is made at home compared to packaged herbal medicine. It is recommended to consume herbal medicine at least every 1-2 days. If you have certain diseases, it is best to consult first with the treating doctor."

"Expert health practitioner, Dr. Zaidul Akbar, suggests that the right time to consume herbal drinks is in the morning and at night. During these two times, the body is metabolizing, making it very suitable to consume herbal drinks to support that process."

Consumption of herbal medicine can enhance kidney function due to the deposits of substances from the herbal medicine. Over time, this can lead to kidney failure. Therefore, the consumption of herbal medicine is not recommended for people who are ill, especially those with kidney disease or those undergoing treatment.

According to Inggrid Tania, drinking herbal medicine in the morning on an empty stomach can help boost the immune system and provide energy to start the day well.
