Abstract

Ethnomedicine offers valuable insights into plant-based therapies, potentially leading to the discovery of novel drugs. Sleep disturbances, including difficulty falling asleep, maintaining sleep, and early morning awakening, are prevalent among the elderly population and can significantly worsen Alzheimer's disease progression. This study explores the medicinal plants utilized by the Tengger tribe's elderly population for treating sleep disorders. Employing a mixed-methods approach, the study involved qualitative data collection through snowball sampling and in-depth interviews with 99 elderly participants and three traditional healers of the Tengger tribe. Quantitative data was obtained through questionnaires administered during field surveys. Participants were selected based on specific criteria: elderly individuals over 60 years of age, native Tengger tribe members with a history of using medicinal plants for sleep disorders; traditional healers were required to be native Tengger tribe members with knowledge passed down through generations. The study identified a total of 11 medicinal plants used for sleep disorders. Five plant species emerged as the most dominant based on the highest citation value (FC) analysis: kale (Ipomoea reptans), agarwood (Aquilaria malaccensis), sintok (Cinnamomum sintoc), Broadleaf plantain (Plantago major), and soursop (Annona muricata). The most commonly used plant parts were leaves, bark, and roots. Traditional preparation methods included boiling and burning the plant materials. Notably, knowledge of these medicinal plants is primarily transmitted orally within the community. Our findings highlight five medicinal plants employed by the Tengger elderly to manage sleep disorders, with limited documented evidence of their efficacy.

Abstract

Abstract. This study aims to optimize the nanoemulsion formulation of combined extracts of Centella asiatica and Moringa oleifera leaves using varying concentrations of Tween 80 as a surfactant. Three formulas were prepared with 8%, 10%, and 12% Tween 80. Physical evaluations included particle size, pH, and viscosity. Results showed that increasing Tween 80 concentration increased particle size and viscosity, while pH remained relatively stable. The 8% Tween 80 formula yielded the most optimal result with the smallest particle size and suitable viscosity for topical application. One-way ANOVA revealed significant differences in particle size and viscosity, but not in pH. These findings indicate that Tween 80 concentration affects the physical stability of the nanoemulsion Key words: kelor leaves, pegagan leaves, nanoemulsion, tween 80

Abstract

AbstrakDesa Gunungronggo memiliki potensi sumber daya herbal yang melimpah, namun 409 lansia di wilayah tersebut belum mendapatkan layanan kesehatan harian berbasis bukti ilmiah, ditambah dengan kurangnya keterampilan teknis kader kesehatan dalam mengolah tanaman herbal secara standar. Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat (PkM) ini bertujuan untuk memberdayakan kader kesehatan dalam pengolahan daun kelor dan bunga rosela menjadi produk teh celup yang terstandar serta meningkatkan peran mereka sebagai edukator kesehatan lansia. Metode pelaksanaan dilakukan melalui sosialisasi, penyuluhan materi fitokimia, workshop pembuatan simplisia, dan praktikum langsung pembuatan teh celup. Kegiatan ini dilaksanakan selama enam bulan (September 2025 – Februari 2026) dengan melibatkan 44 kader kesehatan di Desa Gunungronggo, Kecamatan Tajinan, Kabupaten Malang. Evaluasi keberhasilan program diukur melalui instrumen pre-test dan post-test untuk aspek kognitif, serta uji redemonstrasi untuk aspek psikomotorik. Hasil PkM menunjukkan peningkatan signifikan pada pengetahuan kader dengan rata-rata nilai pre-test 65,45 naik menjadi 80,22 pada post-test (peningkatan sebesar 22,57%). Pada aspek keterampilan teknis (hardskill), rata-rata nilai redemonstrasi mencapai 85 (kategori sangat baik). Program ini berhasil mentransformasi kader menjadi produsen herbal yang terampil dan edukator yang kompeten, memberikan nilai tambah ekonomis pada tanaman lokal, serta menciptakan fondasi layanan kesehatan lansia yang mandiri dan berkelanjutan. Kata Kunci : bunga rosela; daun kelor; kader kesehatan; lansia; teh celup. AbstractGunungronggo Village has abundant herbal resources, but 409 elderly people in the area have not received evidence-based daily health services, compounded by the lack of technical skills among health cadres in processing herbal plants in a standardized manner. This community service activity (PkM) aims to empower health cadres in processing moringa leaves and roselle flowers into standardized tea bags and to enhance their role as health educators for the elderly. The implementation methods include socialization, phytochemical material counseling, simplisia making workshops, and hands-on tea bag making practicums. This activity was carried out over six months (September 2025 – February 2026) involving 44 health cadres in Gunungronggo Village, Tajinan District, Malang Regency. The program's success was evaluated using pre-test and post-test instruments for cognitive aspects and a redemonstration test for psychomotor aspects. The results of the Community Service Program showed a significant increase in the knowledge of cadres, with an average pre-test score of 65.45 rising to 80.22 on the post-test (an increase of 22.57%). In terms of technical skills (hard skills), the average redemonstration score reached 85 (very good category). This program has successfully transformed cadres into skilled herbal producers and competent educators, providing economic added value to local crops and creating the foundation for independent and sustainable elderly health services. Keywords: roselle flowers; moringa leaves; health cadres; elderly peopl; tea bags.

Abstract

Pain is a physiological response due to tissue damage or harmful stimuli that require analgesic therapy. Long-term use of synthetic analgesics carries the risk of side effects, so natural alternatives are needed, one of which is mint leaves (Mentha piperita) which contain menthol as an analgesic compound. The concentration of ethanol in the extraction process is known to affect the content of active compounds and their pharmacological activity. This study aims to evaluate the topical analgesic effect of mint leaf extract gel extracted with 50%, 70%, and 96% ethanol using the tail flick method in white mice (Mus musculus). The gel was applied to the tail of the mice, then pain was induced with hot water at 55±0.5°C. Latency time was recorded at certain observation intervals. The results showed a significant difference in the average latency time between treatment groups compared to the negative control starting at the 30th minute (p<0.05). The 96% ethanol extract gel showed the highest analgesic effect at the 150th minute with a latency time of 9.05±0.34 seconds and analgesic activity of 53.71%. In conclusion, variations in ethanol concentration affect the optimization of the topical analgesic activity of mint leaves. Keywords:          pain, mint leaf, topical analgesic, effectiveness, tail flick   Abstrak Nyeri merupakan respons fisiologis akibat kerusakan jaringan atau rangsangan berbahaya sehingga memerlukan terapi analgesik. Penggunaan analgesik sintetis jangka panjang berisiko menimbulkan efek samping, sehingga diperlukan alternatif berbahan alam, salah satunya daun mint (Mentha piperita) yang mengandung mentol sebagai senyawa analgesik. Konsentrasi etanol dalam proses ekstraksi diketahui memengaruhi kandungan senyawa aktif dan aktivitas farmakologisnya. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengevaluasi efek analgesik topikal gel ekstrak daun mint hasil ekstraksi dengan etanol 50%, 70%, dan 96% menggunakan metode tail flick pada mencit putih (Mus musculus). Gel dioleskan pada ekor mencit, kemudian diinduksi nyeri dengan air panas 55±0,5°C. Waktu latensi dicatat pada interval pengamatan tertentu. Hasil menunjukkan adanya perbedaan signifikan rerata waktu latensi antar kelompok perlakuan dibandingkan kontrol negatif mulai menit ke-30 (p<0,05). Gel ekstrak etanol 96% menunjukkan efek analgesik tertinggi pada menit ke-150 dengan waktu latensi 9,05 ± 0,34 detik dan aktivitas analgesik 53,71%. Kesimpulannya, variasi konsentrasi etanol berpengaruh terhadap optimalisasi aktivitas analgesik topikal daun mint. Kata Kunci:         nyeri, daun mint, analgesik topikal, efektivitas, tail flick
