Community-based DHF vector control has been implemented in Indonesia but has not yet obtained optimal results. Thus, in the community choosing synthetic insecticides to control disease vectors. However, irregular and excessive use of insecticides has a toxic effect and resistance to mosquitoes. Burning mosquito coils and incense containing synthetic dyes and fragrances have the potential to reduce environmental quality. Therefore, this research was conducted to analyze the toxicity of Legiayu incense as an insecticide and larvicide against Aedes aegypti mosquito mortality. The research design is experimental with a completely randomized design. Testing was conducted by providing exposure to smoke and ash of Legiayu incense five times on twenty-five Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. Statistical analysis used one-way ANOVA, LSD, and probit test. The test result as insecticide value (p=0.000) effective exposure for 20 minutes with a durability of 6 hours. The test result as larvicide value (p=0.000) effective exposure for 24 hours. Thus, exposure toismoke and ash of iLegiayuiincense has a very noticeable effect on the mortality of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. Exposureito Legiayu incense smoke obtained an LT50 value of 0,9012 ≤ 5 (super toxic category) with a time of 15 minutes 39 seconds, coefficient determination of 99.24%, and correlation coefficient of 99.62% while exposure to the ash of Legiayu incense obtained LT50 value of 0,05896 ≤ 5 (super toxic category) with time 19 hours 15 minutes 34 seconds, coefficient determination and correlation coefficient of 100%. Histopathological test results showed that Legiayu incense smoke did not cause tissue degeneration, necrosis, hyperplasia, and metaplasia in the lung tissue of mice (mus musculus) within a period of 12 weeks. Thus, Legiayu incense is effective as insecticides and larvicides against Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. Legiayu incense has potential substitute for mosquito repellent coils, temephos, and synthetic incense circulating in the market.

Tujuan: Artikel ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji pengobatan tradisional Bali, dengan mengambil fokus kajian pada pengobatan yang tertuang dalam lontar Usadha Tiwang. Metode penelitian: Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kepustakaan (Library Research). Unit analisis berupa naskah lontar Usadha Tiwang, yang telah ditransliterasi dari aksara Bali ke aksara Latin. Temuan: Hasil penelitian diketahui bahwa tiwang adalah penyakit yang mempunyai gejala badan terasa meluang, sakit dan ngilu, gelisah, mata mendelik, otot kaku bahkan sampai pingsan. Jenis tiwang dicirikan berdasarkan gejala yang muncul. Pengobatan dilaksanakan secara holistik oleh pengusada sesuai tatalaksana pengusada, dengan menggunakan ramuan obat-obatan yang terbuat dari campuran berbagai jenis tumbuh-tumbuhan atau bahan lainnya seperti arak, lengis tanusan, garam, gula, kapur, maupun santen, bahkan tain seksek serta iduh bang. Penggunaannya dengan cara dimakan, diminum, ditutuhkan, disemburkan, diuapkan atau dilulurkan, maupun ditempelkan. Takaran, cara pengolahan, serta cara pemakaian masih belum jelas. Implikasi: Masyarakat Bali tetap percaya terhadap sistim pengobatan tradisional Bali. Namun demikian, masyarakat Bali yang berobat ke tempat praktik pengobatan tradisional sangat sedikit. Simpulannya adalah pengobatan tradisional Bali dilakukan secara holistik untuk mencapai keseimbangan antara shtula sarira-suksma sarira-antahkarana sarira.
Biopharmaca is a biological preparation that comes from nature that has properties as a medicine. Biopharmaca products are categorized into three types, namely herbal medicine, standardized herbal medicine (OHT), and phytopharmaca. The research objective is to find out the benefits of biopharmaca products in leading a healthy Indonesia. Qualitative descriptive research with the method of collecting data is observation and recording documents. The results show that the benefits of biopharmaca products can improve health in the community, are more effective, more affordable, and have relatively smaller side effects. The use of biopharmaca products has global competitiveness that is utilized by residents of several countries such as: China (People’s Republic of China) reaching 90%, Chile reaching 71%, Colombia reaching 40%, France reaching 49%, Canada reaching 78%, Britain reaching 60%, The United States reached 42%, and Germany reached 73%. In moving towards a healthy Indonesia, biopharmaca products can be utilized. Based on the results of the research that biopharmaca products can be used in formal health services to improve the quality and degree of health in the community towards a healthy Indonesia.
