Abstract

Atherosclerosis is one of the causes of problems in the cardiovascular system. This condition can be prevented by using natural products, one of which is medicinal plants. This review collects data on medicinal plants that are easily found in Indonesia that can reduce or improve atherosclerosis conditions. There are 10 plants reviewed that have a high level of safety and potential to be developed as medicine. The plant parts used are fruit and leaves. Some are commonly used as cooking spices such as turmeric and garlic which are found to be useful for improving atherosclerosis conditions. In the context of modern drug development, Indonesia holds significant potential for exploring these plants as sources of active compounds for pharmaceutical applications. Scientific studies of these natural materials are crucial for identifying bioactive components and understanding their mechanisms of action. With the right approach, Indonesia's natural resources could form the basis for developing new, safer, and more effective drugs. Additionally, Indonesia has a considerable opportunity in the global market for natural health products, including nutraceuticals and dietary supplements, as global interest in natural health solutions continues to grow.

Abstract

The community service activity themed "Preparation of Rhizome Simplisia and Encouragement for the Formation of Ukot Umot in the Farmer Group of Lempake Village, Samarinda" aimed to increase public knowledge about the preparation of high-quality rhizome simplisia and to encourage the establishment of local institution-based organizations (Ukot Umot). The activity involved farmer groups, women's PKK groups, and village officials. The materials presented included stages of washing, cutting, drying, and storing simplisia. Additionally, a participatory discussion on the importance of Ukot Umot institutions was conducted to strengthen collaboration and improve market access. Based on an evaluation through a questionnaire, 100% of participants stated that the activity was highly beneficial, with high satisfaction levels regarding the relevance of the material, the delivery method, and the benefits of the activity. The initial impacts of the activity included increased participant knowledge, a commitment to forming Ukot Umot, and motivation to process rhizomes independently. Despite challenges such as limited facilities, this activity successfully laid the foundation for the sustainable development of rhizome-based businesses.
