Mitos Jawa Sebagai Pencegah Penyakit Pencernaan Pada Manusia

Myth is something that is considered magical and polytheistic in the community. Apart from the magical and polytheistic, the myth is still widely believed by the people of Java and it makes sense to be used as a prevention of some diseases. People's habits in the wrong way of eating and drinking unwittingly have an impact on human digestive health. That way, the previous Javanese community used the Javanese myth as a tool to reduce the bad habits of the people that interfere with human digestive health. The method used in this study is a qualitative literature study method with a case study of the impact of myths on human digestive health, especially the Javanese community who until now still believe in Javanese myths. After doing research on Javanese myths that are rife among Javanese people, it shows that Javanese myths have a good impact on the life patterns of Javanese community activities. Mystery and mystical values that exist in Javanese myths attract people's attention to know and think about the meaning of these myths. Through the Javanese myth, health science that sounds serious and boring becomes an activity that people unconsciously do in their daily lives and prevents people from health problems. Thus, the Javanese myth that still prevails among the Javanese community is one effective way to prevent people from behaving wrongly which causes disruption to human digestive health.
