Abstract

The utilization of household medicinal plants (in Indonesia known as TOGA) as a form of local wisdom holds great potential for improving public health. However, its use as an alternative traditional treatment remains suboptimal, especially among the younger generation. TOGA not only serves as cooking ingredients but also offers natural and independent health benefits. Therefore, this empowerment activity aims to enhance students' knowledge and awareness of the benefits of TOGA through educational counseling and practical garden-making activities. The program was conducted on October 13-14, 2024, at SD Negeri 21 Rumbia, involving 52 students from grades 3, 4, and 6. The methods used included lectures, leaflet distribution, an interactive game called "Guess the Picture", Q&A sessions, and hands-on planting of six types of TOGA plants: ginger, lemongrass, galangal, turmeric, basil, and celery. The evaluation was carried out using pre-tests and post-tests with five questions designed to measure students' knowledge improvement. The results showed a significant increase (p < 0.05) in students' knowledge, with the percentage of those classified as having sufficient knowledge rising from 11.5% to 26.9%. In addition to enhancing knowledge, the hands-on TOGA planting activity provided students with practical experience that reinforced their understanding of the health benefits of medicinal plants. With active student involvement and support from the school, this program is expected to contribute to public health improvement through the sustainable use of TOGA.

Abstract

Despite the longstanding use of herbal remedies to support maternal health, particularly during lactation, existing research has yet to systematically explore the intersection of traditional practices, digital media influence, and public trust. This study aims to analyze how herbal beliefs are represented, trusted, and potentially distorted through digital platforms, and to assess the effectiveness of herbal interventions in enhancing breast milk production in Indonesia. Employing a systematic literature review methodology in accordance with PRISMA guidelines, the study examined 24 peer-reviewed articles sourced from Google Scholar, focusing on public perception, misinformation, and trust in herbal remedies. Additionally, 25 studies on breastfeeding interventions were reviewed to evaluate the outcomes of herbal-based and educational approaches. Results indicate that while herbal galactagogues such as Moringa leaves, katuk, and dates consistently improve lactation outcomes, digital media plays a dual role—facilitating both accurate health education and the spread of unverified claims. Educational interventions enhanced maternal understanding and acceptance of herbal remedies, especially when supported by community engagement and digital tools. However, variations in efficacy across contexts and limited clinical validation signal the need for more rigorous trials. The findings underscore the importance of culturally integrated, evidence-based strategies in maternal health promotion and call for the careful regulation of online health information to safeguard public trust and maternal well-being.

Abstract

Recent hospitality waste studies increasingly promote circular organic-waste treatment, yet empirical descriptions of how hotels operationalize low-cost bioconversion pathways (eco-enzyme fermentation and black soldier fly/maggot production) in day-to-day routines remain limited, particularly in Eastern Indonesia. This study aimed to describe the management of hotel organic waste into eco-enzyme and maggot feed at Mercure Makassar (Makassar City, Indonesia) using a descriptive qualitative design. Data were collected through non-participant observations of kitchen waste flows, in-depth interviews with key hotel personnel (food production, stewarding, housekeeping, engineering, and management), and document review (SOPs, training materials, and relevant local/national regulations). Data were analyzed thematically with iterative coding and triangulation across sources. The findings indicate that the system hinges on (i) source segregation at food-preparation and post-consumption points, (ii) stabilization steps to reduce contamination and odor before processing, (iii) standardized eco-enzyme fermentation using organic residues with sugar/molasses and water ratios commonly reported in the literature (e.g., 1:3:10 or 10:3:1 by weight/volume) and a multi-month maturation period, and (iv) BSF-based bioconversion that rapidly reduces restaurant waste while producing larval biomass and frass as by-products. Implementation is shaped by staff literacy, space constraints, pest-control requirements, and alignment with municipal and national waste-management mandates. Overall, this case demonstrates a feasible, practice-oriented circular pathway for hotels, with implications for SOP development, staff training, and measurable reduction of landfill-bound organic waste in Makassar.
