This study is set as an attempt to study Banjarese healing mantras as part of oral literature that needs to be preserved. Mantras are now prone to loss because more and more people no longer believe in them. In this study, the healing mantras are collected through documentation and interview.

Seeing from their functions, Banjarese healing mantras are casted to heal 21 issues regarding to health. In relation to socio-cultural values, the Banjarese healing mantras show that nature and Islamic teaching play important role in Banjarese people’s lives.
