Pengetahuan Masyarakat Mengenai Manfaat Tanaman Mangrove Sebagai Obat Tradisional

Abstract

Tumbuhan obat telah digunakan sebagai pengobatan preventif, kuratif, dan rehabilitatif sejak zaman kuno. Bahan aktif tumbuhan yang digunakan untuk mengobati penyakit memiliki nilai terapeutik. Tanaman mangrove merupakan salah satu tanaman yang sering di pergunakan untuk bahan obat tradisional. Indonesia merupakan negara yang berada di Asia yang memiliki hutan mangrove terbesar di dunia dan tersebar dari sabang hingga ke merauke. Luas hutan mangrove di Indonesia ± 42.550 km2 yang tersebar dalam 257 kota/kabupaten. Setidaknya terdapat 40 hingga 50 spesies mangrove di Indonesia yang merupakan spesies mangrove terbesar di dunia. Keberagaman jenis mangrove bervariasi dari pulau ke pulau di Indonesia, dan kebutuhan serta permintaan akan jamu semakin berkembang, begitu pula dengan kesadaran akan pentingnya bahan alami dan semboyan hidup di alam (back to nature). Desain yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini yaitu desain deskriptif yang bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi pengetahuan masyarakat pesisir tentang manfaat mangrove sebagai tanaman obat. Sampel dalam penelitian ini berjumlah 60 orang. Teknik pengambilan sampel dalam penelitian ini adalah teknik Random Sampling. Hasil penelitian didaptkan mayoritas masyarakat mempunyai pengetahuan kurang sebanyak 40 responden dengan persentase (67%) dimana masyarakat masih memanfaatkan mangrove hanya dari segi ecology.
 

Narrative Review of the Effect of Endorphin Massage and Oxytocin Massage on Pain Intensity in Maternity Women

“…During the labor process, women who are given endorphin massage therapy will physiologically stimulate the release of endogenous analgesics (endorphins), thereby inhibiting the transmission of pain by increasing the circulation of neurotransmitters produced naturally by the body at neural synapses along the central nervous system. Endorphins are associated with the parasympathetic membrane, inhibiting the release of substance P which can inhibit pain transmission, so that pain is reduced (Susanti, 2022). When touch and pain are stimulated simultaneously, the touch sensation travels to the brain while the descending control system stimulates the thalamus to secrete endorphins which close the gates for pain transmission in the spinal cord and affect the sympathetic nervous system, causing the sympathetic nervous system to decline.…”

“…From the results of research conducted by Susanti (2022), in patients who were given endorphin massage there was a decrease in the pain scale. It can be seen from the conditions before and after the treatment was given, where before the endorphin massage was given the mother felt very severe pain, the pain that the mother felt could be seen in the mother's facial expression which looked like she was enduring the pain.…”

“…It can be seen from the conditions before and after the treatment was given, where before the endorphin massage was given the mother felt very severe pain, the pain that the mother felt could be seen in the mother's facial expression which looked like she was enduring the pain. After being given a massage, the mother appeared to experience changes regarding the pain she felt (Susanti, 2022). Oxytocin massage is a massage/technique for reducing labor pain with a light touch or massage on the spine starting from the 5-6th rib to the scapula used to reduce discomfort during labor (Sartika et al, 2023).…”

Website development on herbal plant diversity as media in Kurikulum Merdeka

“…Even though this traditional medicine still exists today, people's knowledge about plants that have medicinal properties is starting to decline. This is proven by research by Susanti & Mona (2021) which states that 40 out of 60 respondents have insufficient knowledge regarding the potential and benefits of mangroves as traditional medicine. Reference sources regarding the diversity of herbal plants in Indonesia that can be used for learning in schools are still limited.…”

“…This is due to modernization so that people tend to use ready-to-use herbal medicines. This lack of knowledge is also proven by research bySusanti & Mona (2021) that 40 out of 60 respondents (local communities) have insufficient knowledge regarding the potential and benefits of mangrove plants as traditional medicine. Therefore, knowledge about the diversity of medicinal plants is important to teach in schools.…”
