Abstract

Traditional medicines have been an integral part of the cultural heritage and health systems of various societies around the world. To promote the use of traditional medicine and understand it more deeply, the dissemination of traditional medicine products is a crucial step. The purpose of this service is to explore the importance of the dissemination of traditional medicinal products and their benefits to the community.  The main target of this activity were people who have a history of chronic disease. In addition, public awareness to obtain information related to traditional medicine products was still lacking. The method of implementing this service activity was carried out by providing direct education related to traditional medicine to the community. As a result of the service, 19 traditional medicine products were disseminated and increased public awareness about traditional medicine. This result implies that the use of traditional medicine should be widely encouraged to a larger community.

Abstract

Hyperglycemia resulting from pancreatic β-cell damage remains a major challenge in diabetes mellitus management, highlighting the need for effective bioactive agents to reduce blood glucose levels. This study aimed to assess the antihyperglycemic activity of Borassus flabellifer Linn extract in alloxan-induced mice and to compare the efficacy across different doses. A post-test only control group design was applied with five groups: three treatment groups receiving B. flabellifer extract (200, 400, and 600 mg/kgBW), a positive control, and a negative control (n=5 per group). Blood glucose levels were monitored for seven days after induction and analyzed using one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey HSD post hoc test. All three doses significantly reduced blood glucose levels compared to the negative control (p<0.05). The 600 mg/kgBW dose produced the largest absolute glucose reduction (261.6 mg/dL), while the 200 mg/kgBW dose achieved the best glucose normalization, reaching a final level of 109.4 mg/dL by day 7. These findings highlight a distinction between absolute reduction magnitude and degree of normalization that warrants careful interpretation. Due to the limited sample size (n=5 per group) and short observation period, these results should be considered preliminary. In conclusion, B. flabellifer Linn flower extract demonstrates antihyperglycemic potential across all tested doses. The 200 mg/kgBW dose showed the best glucose normalization, while the 600 mg/kgBW dose produced the largest absolute reduction. These preliminary results support its potential as a natural candidate for antidiabetic therapy and warrant further investigation into its mechanisms, phytochemical profile, and long-term safety.

Abstract

Banana peels, often considered agricultural waste, are rich in bioactive compounds with significant antioxidant potential. This study evaluates the antioxidant activity of a combined ethanol extract from Cavendis (Musa acuminata) and Kepok (Musa paradisiaca) banana peels using the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay. The extraction was performed via maceration with 96% ethanol, yielding 9.13%. Phytochemical analysis identified key compounds including flavonoids, tannins, saponins, and steroids/terpenoids, which are known to exhibit antioxidant properties. The extract demonstrated strong radical scavenging activity with an IC50 of 6.47 ppm and an Antioxidant Activity Index (AAI) of 5.40, comparable to Vitamin C (IC50 = 6.29 ppm; AAI = 5.56). These results indicate a synergistic effect from combining the two banana peel varieties, enhancing antioxidant efficacy beyond that reported for individual peels. This study supports the potential use of Cavendis and Kepok banana peel extracts as sustainable natural antioxidants for application in food preservation, nutraceuticals, and cosmetics. Future work should focus on optimizing extraction methods, detailed phytochemical profiling, stability assessment, and in vivo validation to advance product development and maximize health benefits.

Abstract

Fasting is a form of religious practice that not only provides spiritual benefits but also has positive effects on human health. From a medical perspective, fasting plays an important role in improving metabolic function, enhancing the immune system, and helping prevent various degenerative diseases. This community service activity was conducted in Rumak Timur Selatan Hamlet, Rumak Village, Kediri District, West Lombok Regency, West Nusa Tenggara, with the aim of increasing public knowledge regarding the health benefits of fasting. The activities were carried out through health education sessions, healthy lifestyle counseling, and interactive discussions with the community. The results showed that the community demonstrated high enthusiasm and gained new understanding regarding the benefits of fasting for digestive health, blood sugar control, cardiovascular health, and improvement of the body’s immune system. This activity is expected to increase public awareness in adopting healthy lifestyles while observing fasting practices.

Abstract

Introduction: The presence of landfills can threaten groundwater quality because the decomposition process of waste containing hazardous chemicals can cause surrounding groundwater pollution. As the amount of waste increases, the risk of environmental pollution around the landfill also increases, especially to groundwater sources used by the local community. The study aims to analyze family health problems related to the use of groundwater located near landfills. Methods: The study used a cross-sectional design around the Kebon Kongok landfill, West Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara (WNT), Indonesia. The sample amounted to 300 respondents who met the inclusion criteria. Data analysis was performed descriptively, chi-square test, and binary logistic regression by analyzing the adjusted odds ratio (AOR) results, p-value <0.05, and 95% confidence interval. Results: 164 respondents (54.7%) used well water for their daily needs. The results of the study based on binary logistic regression tests showed a significant relationship between history of diarrhea in children (p=0.002; AOR=3.65), nutritional status of the child (p=0.001; AOR=3.95), maternal history of fetal miscarriage (p<0.001; AOR=4.08), family history of skin disease (p=0.010; AOR=2.75), family history of ARI (p=0.011; AOR=2.72), disability status in the family (p<0.001; AOR=4.10), family history of chronic disease (p<0.001; AOR=4.79), history of mother giving birth to a low birth weight (LBW) infant (p=0.003; AOR: 2.97), and history of mother giving birth to a premature infant (p=0.009; AOR=2.64) with the use of groundwater in families around the landfill. Conclusions: Groundwater use near contaminated waste disposal sites is closely related to family health issues related to diarrhea, nutritional status, fetal miscarriage, skin diseases, ARI, disability, chronic diseases, LBW, and history of mother giving birth to a premature infant. This indicates the need for significant health and environmental interventions to protect surrounding communities from the health risks of using polluted groundwater.
