Abstract

Latar Belakang: Diuretik merupakan senyawa yang meningkatkan ekskresi cairan tubuh melalui urin, namun penggunaan diuretik sintetis seperti furosemid dan hidroklorotiazid berisiko menimbulkan efek samping sehingga bahan alami seperti teh, semangka, dan melon mulai dilirik sebagai alternatif. Tujuan: Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui efektivitas teh, semangka, dan melon sebagai diuretik alami pada manusia. Metode: Penelitian eksperimental dengan desain pretest-posttest control group dilakukan pada mahasiswa Universitas Muhammadiyah Karanganyar yang dibagi acak dalam empat kelompok (kontrol, teh, semangka, melon), dengan pengukuran frekuensi berkemih sebelum dan sesudah intervensi. Hasil: Konsumsi teh dan semangka terbukti meningkatkan frekuensi berkemih secara signifikan (p<0,05), sedangkan melon menunjukkan peningkatan yang tidak bermakna. Kesimpulan: Teh dan semangka berpotensi sebagai diuretik alami dan dapat dimanfaatkan sebagai terapi komplementer pada pasien dengan hipertensi, gout, maupun urolitiasis.

Abstract

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disease characterized by elevated blood glucose levels due to impaired insulin secretion, insulin action, or both. The most common type of diabetes, accounting for approximately 90% of all cases, is type 2 DM. Diabetes management can be carried out with non-pharmacological therapies. One such therapy is the use of herbal plants as an additional therapy in controlling blood glucose levels using Moringa oleifera leaves, which have antidiabetic potential. The content of Moringa oleifera leaves can lower blood glucose levels. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of Moringa oleifera consumption in reducing DM. This research method used meta-analysis and systematic review with Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) studies. A total of 7 articles were used in the quantitative analysis (meta-analysis) originating from two African continents, one European continent, and four from the Asian continent. The results showed that consuming Moringa oleifera significantly reduced blood glucose levels with a SMD value of -0.83 (95% CI: -1.51 to -0.14; p = 0.02). In conclusion, Moringa oleifera has the potential to be used as a complementary therapy in the management of diabetes mellitus, but cannot yet replace the main therapy that has been clinically recommended. It is recommended that the use of Moringa oleifera can be considered and utilized by diabetes mellitus patients as part of a healthy lifestyle.

Abstract

Many older adults experience health problems, including joint pain associated with elevated uric acid levels (gout). This population may also be vulnerable to adverse effects and complications related to long-term pharmacological treatment. Complementary herbal approaches, such as Ginger Poultice Therapy (GPT), may be considered as potential supportive options; however, their efficacy and safety require further empirical evaluation. This cross-sectional survey aimed to identify the characteristics of older adults with gout as baseline data prior to therapeutic research involving ginger as a complementary approach. An observational analytic cross-sectional design was employed using data on the frequency distribution of the older adult population and uric acid screening results. Information on previous use of GPT and physical activity patterns was also collected. The findings indicated that prior use of GPT was limited and that a substantial proportion of participants did not engage in routine physical activity. These findings provide baseline information for the development of subsequent intervention studies evaluating GPT and physical activity among older adults with gout. Because of the cross-sectional design, the study does not establish the effectiveness of GPT, its safety, or its ability to reduce uric acid levels or the risks associated with long-term pharmacological treatment. Further controlled studies are therefore required to evaluate the therapeutic effects and safety of GPT as a complementary approach.
