In Malaysia, people have traditionally engaged in pre and postnatal care. However, the traditional practice's accompanying information is rarely documented and is simply passed down the generations. Only a few individuals are aware of and believe in the efficacy of herbs for postpartum recovery. The study aimed to explore medicinal plant species utilized by the Malay traditional midwifery and further integrate them into Malay garden design elements. The qualitative approach used in this research was a semi-structured interview at Kampung Panji and Kampung Bandar in Kelantan. They were Malay midwives who had experience as traditional Malay traditional midwifery practitioners. This study indicated that the commonly preferred pre and postnatal care were swinging the tummy, traditional bath, point massage, body wrap and traditional massage and miscarriage treatment. Overall, 44 medicinal plants used by both midwives were categorized into several categories; trees, palm, shrubs, herbaceous, climber and macrophytes. The researcher developed three Malay design concepts from the information gathered: laman tiba, laman sisi and laman suri. These new ethnobotanical records were a valuable source for preserving traditional knowledge of plant species through their integration into the Malay landscape. |
