Cut wounds given to the rabbit's back with a 2 cm long wound and 2 mm deep, the ointment applied twice a day for 13 days and measured using a ruler or calipers. Result: The results show that Jeringau rhizome contains flavonoid, tannin, saponin, and alkaloid metabolites which can be used as wound heal wound healers. This study aims to determine its effectiveness as a wound healer wound.
