(Temu Ireng), and Curcuma heyneana Val. & Zijp (Temu Giring) are plants belonging to the Curcuma genus which has been used traditionally. This research was conducted to study the botanical aspects, traditional uses, chemical compounds, and pharmacological activity of Curcuma zedoaria, Curcuma aeruginosa, and Curcuma heyneana through a literature study. The literature study was carried out using search engines such as Scopus, Google Scholar, Science Direct, and PubMed. The literature used is an English-language scientific journal published in 2010 –February 2022, indexed by Scopus, has DOI, and contains information related to chemical compounds, and/or pharmacological activity, and/or traditional uses of the three plants. The literature review results show that temu putih, temu ireng, and temu giring contain chemical compounds such as monoterpenoids, sesquiterpenoids, curcuminoids, and others. In addition, the three plants were also reported to have pharmacological activities such as antimicrobial, antioxidant, cytotoxic activity, and other activities. Some pharmacological activities support the traditional uses of the three plants. This research is expected to be a comprehensive information to support the development and use of Curcuma zedoaria, Curcuma aeruginosa, and Curcuma heyneana as natural medicinal plants.
