Abstract

Indonesia is a country rich in biodiversity and high culture, including traditional knowledge such as the use of medicinal plants. This study examines ethnopharmacological practices in two indigenous communities on the island of Sumatra: the Anak Dalam tribe in Jambi and the Mentawai tribe in West Sumatra. The study reviewed several articles on medicinal plants on Google Scholar related to the plant species used, plant parts utilized, processing methods, and indications for their use in traditional medicine. The review results show that both tribes utilize various plants to treat ailments such as fever, diarrhea, coughs, wounds, digestive disorders, and infections. Some of these are supported by scientific evidence regarding their pharmacological activities, such as Zingiber officinale, Psidium guajava, Curcuma longa, and Eurycoma longifolia. The results of this review confirm that the traditional knowledge of both communities has excellent potential for development in pharmacy and conventional medicine. Documentation and scientific study of medicinal plants are crucial for cultural preservation and the development of traditional medicine.

Abstract

Family Medicinal Plants (TOGA) are groups of plants traditionally cultivated in home gardens and used as sources of natural medicine. One of the widely utilized TOGA plants is Moringa leaves (Moringa oleifera Lam.), known for their high nutritional content and various pharmacological benefits. Research shows that Moringa leaves contain bioactive compounds such as flavonoids and phenolic acids, which support health benefits, including antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. This community service activity was conducted at Al-Hidayah Orphanage with the aim of enhancing the community’s understanding and skills in utilizing TOGA, particularly Moringa leaves, through herbal tea-making training. Using a qualitative approach, the activities included an initial survey, counseling, practical training, and evaluations through pre-test and post-test questionnaires to measure participants' knowledge improvement. The results showed a significant increase in participants’ understanding of TOGA benefits and Moringa leaf processing into herbal tea, with knowledge levels rising from an initial 16.7% to 91.3% after the training. This increase indicates that counseling and hands-on training effectively improved community awareness and skills. Additionally, the activity introduced the potential for developing herbal products from local plants, which could provide health benefits and economic opportunities through Moringa leaf-based herbal tea production. To sustain the program, further training is recommended to enhance participants’ proficiency in processing TOGA, especially as value-added herbal products. Collaboration with educational institutions is also suggested to expand research and development on TOGA products within the community.

Abstract

The reading interest among children in Sungai Kasai Village, South Pariaman, has become a primary focus in efforts to boost literacy and knowledge amidst rapid technological advancements. This community service project aims to enhance children's interest in reading through an interactive and educational reading corner, implemented through the “Rumah Hebat” program. The approach used is qualitative, involving steps such as surveying the location, researching book donation systems, developing donation brochures, collecting books, and organizing activities at “Rumah Hebat.” The program results indicate that using age-appropriate books, incorporating creative activities like story discussions, writing and drawing workshops, and educational games successfully revived children’s interest in reading. These activities provided a hands-on, engaging way for children to explore the joys of reading, which significantly contrasts with passive screen time. By offering an engaging alternative to electronic devices, the program reduced the negative impacts of technology on children, replacing screen time with reading and creative activities that foster intellectual growth. In conclusion, the “Rumah Hebat” program demonstrates that collective efforts from children, students, and the local community can positively transform children's reading habits. This initiative is expected to provide long-term benefits for the children and the Sungai Kasai Village community. For further development, it is recommended to collaborate with libraries, local authors, or art communities to offer broader access to reading materials and creative opportunities. Expanding these resources can enrich the program, providing children with diverse literary and artistic experiences, and fostering a deeper connection to reading and learning.
