We have been LOVING the natural medicine content from Indonesian users on HIVE! From ancestral plants to cooking, to meditation and gardening, we're seeing the BEST Indonesia has to offer on the wellness and plant medicine theme! These challenges are to help spread the word and bring support for Indonesian users of the #naturalmedicine tag and of course the #lotusindonesia tag!
However, this fortnight (until the 17th of May) we're doing something slightly different! You need to choose one of the following ten herbs and write a post about it! We have two sets of HIVE prizes - the first prize of 25 HIVE will be to an Indonesian user only, and the second prize of 15 HIVE will be for non-Indonesians. Depending on quality and amount of entries, we might offer more HIVE. If you are an Indonesian speaker, head over to
