cupping and herbal practices at her home to focus on continuing her abilities in tibb nabawi.

children with special needs (autis) only God entrust to people who are capable both in terms of

mental, faith and financial. Children with autism require special care and special herbs. As well

licencing. Mrs Zubaidah is also try to focus in cupping herbal without bleeding so there is no

need to be constrained by medical standards and sterilization

As an herbalist, Mrs Zubaidah is never feel enough to continue learn and research method

and find alternative herbs. The use of herbs that are carried out depend on the skills and expertise

of the herbalist. The efficacy of a method requires accuracy of diagnosis, drug formulation,

dosage determination, accuracy of how to use, indications and contradictions. That is the reason

why an herbalist needs to maintain her patient to find out the progress.

2.3. Business management

As a pure family business, controlled and operated by members ofine / several families,

this business using their own money without taking a loan from the bank.

Using the best raw materials is the key but it gains the cost. So, an herbalist will produce

it own using free space in her bhouse, know how to grow up, how to applicate the fertilizer and

the best time to cultivate their herbs.
