Abstract

Menstrual pain (dysmenorrhea) affects approximately 45–95% of women of reproductive age in Indonesia and may interfere with daily activities. Dysmenorrhea is a gynecological disorder caused by an imbalance of progesterone in the blood, leading to pain. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), dysmenorrhea is referred to as tongjing and is often associated with yang deficiency syndrome. Ginger and palm sugar decoction has natural warming, anti-inflammatory, and analgesic effects, making it suitable for treating cold-type menstrual pain based on TCM principles. Objective: To determine the effect of ginger and palm sugar decoction on reducing primary dysmenorrhea in adolescents with yang deficiency syndrome. Methods: A quantitative study using a single-group pretest-posttest design without a control group. A total of 20 adolescent girls aged 10–18 were given the decoction three times a day for two days. The study was conducted at Mitshaqul Ummah Islamic Boarding School, Cianjur Regency. Results: The average pain score decreased from 4.10 to 1.75 after intervention. The Paired Sample T-Test showed a t-value of 14.104 (df = 19) with a significance level of p < 0.001, indicating a statistically significant reduction in pain. A 50% decrease was also found in seven key indicators of yang deficiency symptoms, based on a TCM physical constitution questionnaire. Conclusion: Ginger and palm sugar decoction significantly reduces the severity of primary dysmenorrhea and alleviates symptoms of yang deficiency. These findings are consistent with TCM principles, which emphasize warming the body and strengthening yang energy to relieve pain.

Abstract

Background: Obesity (Féi Pàng) is one of the health problems that has increased significantly in Indonesia. Based on Riskesdas 2023, the national obesity prevalence reaches 28.7% and is higher in the group of women of childbearing age. Obesity contributes to metabolic disorders, the risk of non-communicable diseases, as well as hormonal and reproductive dysfunction. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (PTT), obesity is seen as a result of imbalances in spleen and stomach function, moisture accumulation, and gastric heat syndrome (Wei Re). Proper treatment requires holistic approaches such as acupuncture and herbs. One of the herbs used is Murraya paniculata (Jiǔ lǐ xiāng), which empirically and pharmacologically has hypolipidemic and heat-decay effects. This therapy is believed to reduce Body Mass Index (BMI) effectively. Objective: This study aimed to determine the effect of acupuncture therapy and Murraya paniculata (Jiǔ lǐ xiāng) on the reduction of BMI in obese women with gastric heat syndrome. Methods: The study used a pre-experimental quantitative design with a one group pretest-posttest design. The sample consisted of 20 women aged 21–36 years who underwent therapy 6 times for 2 weeks at the Petos Sehat Clinic in Jakarta. Data were collected through BMI measurements before and after the intervention. The sampling technique uses purposive sampling. The data was analyzed using a paired t-test statistical test. Results: The average BMI before therapy showed a value of 30.19 kg/m² After the intervention, the average BMI decreased to 29.31 kg/m².
