ABSTRAKHati merupakan organ penting dalam tubuh manusia. Organ ini merupakan pusat metabolisme, salah satunya adalah metabolisme obat. Pengobatan konvensional yang menggunakan bahan kimia dapat menimbulkan perubahan pada fungsi hati. Sedangkan pada pengobatan tradisional, efek pengobatan pada fungsi hati masih jarang dipublikasikan. Salah satu penggunaan obat tradisional adalah jamu sebagai sedatif. Sebuah penelitian diadakan di Balai Besar Litbang Tanaman Obat dan Obat Tradisional (B2P2TOOT) tahun 2013 untuk mengetahui perubahan terhadap fungsi hati pasien-pasien yang mendapatkan terapi ramuan jamu insomnia. Penelitian berupa observasi terhadap 30 pasien insomnia yang datang dan berobat di Klinik Saintifikasi Jamu Hortus Medicus. Pasien insomnia yang mendapat terapi ramuan jamu selama 14 hari diobservasi fungsi hatinya. Evaluasi dilakukan pada nilai laboratoris yang merepresentasikan fungsi hati (SGOT dan SGPT) pada hari ke-0 dan hari ke-14. Perbandingan hasil pemeriksaan sebelum dan sesudah terapi menggambarkan perbedaan yang tidak bermakna kadar SGOT dan SGPT subjek penelitian(p>0,05). Semua subjek memiliki nilai SGOT dan SGPT yang normal secara klinis dan laboratoris. Pemberian ramuan jamu untuk insomnia tidak mengganggu fungsi hati.

Diabetes mellitus (DM) merupakan penyakit degenerative dengan murbiditas dan mortalitas yang terus meningkat. Herbal medicine telah banyak digunakan untuk mengontrol kadar glukosa darah (KGD) pasien DM. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis efek penggunaan ramuan jamu hiperglikemia terhadap kualitas hidup atau quality of life (QoL) pasien DM. Penelitian ini merupakan studi kohort dengan menggunakan kuesioner Short Form-36 (SF-36) sebagai alat pengukuran kualitas hidup 40 subjek penelitian dengan KGD sewaktu 200 – 300 mg/dl. Pasien diberi ramuan jamu temulawak ,kunyit, dan meniran tiga kali sehari selama 56 hari. Kualitas hidup subjek diukur pada hari ke 0, 28, dan 56. Pengaruh penggunaan jamu terhadap QoL dianalisis menggunakan uji t berpasangan.Sebanyak 58% dari subjek penelitian adalah perempuan. Hasil penelitian membuktikan terdapat perbedaan yang signifikan antara QoL sebelum dan setelah pemberian jamu selama 56 hari, (p=<0,05). Ramuan jamu batang brotowali, herba sambiloto, rimpang temulawak, rimpang kunyit, dan herba meniran dapat meningkatkan QoL pasien DM. Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a degenerative disease with increased morbidity and mortality. Herbal medicine has been widely used to control blood glucose levels in DM patients. This study aimed to analyze the effect of consumehyperglycemic jamu formula on quality of life (QoL) in DM patients. This study was a cohort study using a Short Form-36 (SF-36) questionnaire as a quality of life measurement tool of 40 subjects with blood gluces levels at 200 - 300 mg / dl. The patient received a jamu fomula of ginger, turmeric, and meniran three times a day for 56 days. The quality of life of the subjects was measured on days 0, 28 and 56. The effect of the admintration of jamu on QoL was analyzed using paired t test. A total of 58% of the research subjects were women. The results showed that there were significant differences of QoL before and after administration of jamu for 56 days (p = <0.05). Jamu formlua of brotowali stems, bitter herbs, curcuma rhizomes, turmeric rhizomes, and meniran herbs can increase the QoL of DM patients
Catha edulis (khat), belongs to a group of psychotropic plants, which has an amphetamine-like structure and contains many catin and cation. The plant contains hallucinogenic compounds and known for its calming effect. The excessive catin contained inside the fresh leave of khat could potentially induce a plenty of side effects especially when the leaves are directly consumed and uncooked. The side effects vary according to how long the plant has been consumed, started from local organ disruption to cardiovascular complication such as increased blood pressure to myocardial infarction. In the contrary, positive effects of the composition of khat have also been reported such as anti-inflammatory effect, antidiabetic, anticancer, immunomodulatory and increased improvement in respiratory diseases. Although myriad studies have been conducted to examine the best benefit obtained from the such plant, the legal issue on its utilization is still questionable. Therefore, khat consumption must be maintained with a proper and strong regulation to lessen the negative impacts. However, studies on the potency of khat are still ongoing. The literature review was written based on various books, journals, and search databases in Pubmed, Medline, Cochrane and Google Scholar to show the positive and negative effects of the habit in consuming khat.
Hyperuricemia is a metabolic disorder that is often found in the community, and requires long-termtreatment. To determine the effi cacy and safety of the hyperuricemia herbs, clinical studies have been carried out on the effi cacy and safety of tablet preparations compared to boiled of the hyperuricemia herbs. The clinical study was conducted with an open label research design, randomized clinical study and parallel design. The study involved 55 subjects who had met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Subjects were randomized and divided into groups of tablets or boiled with intervention for 28 days. The tablet group took tablets with a dose of 3x2 tablets per day and the boiled group drank infusion with a dose of 3 times a glass per day. Blood uric acid was examined at D0, D14 and D28. SGOT, SGPT, urea, and creatinine were examined at D0 and D28. The tablet reduced uric acid (7.74 mg/dL to 6.53 mg/dL) and the boiled reduced uric acid (7.93 mg/dL to 7.09 mg/dL). The administration of tablet preparations eliminates the clinical symptoms of swollen/pain of leg, swollen/pain of hand, stiff ness, pain and other symptoms at the deff erent time than boiled administration. The administration of both preparations for 28 days in the subjects did not increase the value of SGOT, SGPT, urea and creatinine and no symptoms of serious side eff ects were found.
