Great numbers of Indonesia's 135 million people put their faith in the dukun (folk doctor). For the villager he is cheap and he's on the spot; they go to him first before they would go to any hospital. In the cities often you see them standing or sitting in parks or on street corners inside circles 5 people deep, giving their sales talks on their special medicines. Long established opponents of western medicine, these barefoot doctors have used locally made remedies and treatments for thousands of years Though many of the dukun's medicines have never been tested (obat serasi), some of his remedies have a sound scientific basis in modern medicine. Dukuns were the first to use quinine to cure malaria.

The dukun often receives no consultation fee but gets his income from the sale of herbs only. They are men who supposedly have supernatural powers. It's believed that some dukuns contain souls of dead people who talk through them, speaking in tongues of the spirit or in Old Javanese. Among them are witch doctors who can exorcize evil spirits from houses and heal illnesses by faith. They can rid people who have teen secretly poisoned or purge them of spells cast on them by less powerful dukuns. These native medicos believe that mind rules over matter; for psychosomatic sicknesses they dispense psychosomatic cures. Often secret Islamic sayings and prayers are written on pieces of paper then dunked in a glass of water. When drunk, the patient is cured of his ailment. Dukuns can also improve a client's sex appeal; a diamond blown onto the lips by a dukun will give his customer an irrestible smile and fascination for the opposite sex.
