“…to treat cough and asthma by taking a few leaves, boiling them in the water, and drinking the water 2 times a day with added brown sugar. Our finding is in line with a study by Widhiantara and Jawi (2021), which found that B. balsamifera plants can be used to treat sinusitis, colic pain, coughs, kidney stones, flu, or diuretics. This plant contains several phytochemicals, both volatile (terpenoids, fatty acids, phenols, alcohols, aldehydes, ethers, ketones, pyridines, furans, and alkanes) and non-volatile (flavonoids, flavanones, and chalcones).…”

Abstract. Haruna MF, Kenta AM, Herawati. 2022. Medicinal plants used by the community of Lipulalongo Village, Banggai Laut District, Central Sulawesi, Indonesia. Asian J Ethnobiol 5: 62-68. Plants have been traditionally used for medicinal purposes to cure diseases or maintain body wellness and health. However, the utilization of medicinal plants by a particular community is unique and specific to the context of area, thus it might differ from one community to another. This study aimed to document the diversity of plant species used by the community in Lipulalongo Village, Labobo Sub-district, Banggai Laut District, Central Sulawesi, Indonesia, as well as to reveal the method of use of such plants in their medication practices. The research used a cruising survey method, and data collection used interviews, field observation, and identification. The study recorded 21 species of medicinal plants, namely Phaleria macrocarpa Boerl, Andrographis paniculata Burm.f., Orthosiphon stamineus Bent, Coleus scutellarioides (L.) Benth., Averrhoa bilimbi L., Psidium guajava L., Capsicum annum L., Annona squamosa L., Syzygium aromaticum (L.) Merr. & L.M.Perry, Morinda citrifolia L., Gossypium arboreum L., Sesbania grandiflora (L) Pers., Cymbopogon citratus (DC.) Stapf, Curcuma domestica Valeton, Curcuma zedoria (Christm.) Roscoe), Areca catechu L, Alpinia galangal (L.) Willd), Carica papaya L., Theobroma cacao L., Chamaedaphne sp., and Blumea balsamifera (L.) DC. The leaf was the most utilized plant organ rather than fruit, stem, bark, rhizomes, or tubers. Boiling and drinking was the most common method of preparation and mode of application, respectively. Diseases that can be prevented and treated using medicinal plants are fever, diarrhea, colds, coughs, sore teeth, skin diseases (e.g., boils, tinea versicolor, and ringworm), digestive tract diseases in the stomach, and therapy after giving birth.

“…This work provides a significant overview of the challenges leading to the development of seaweed which will be further investigated as a pharmaceutical ingredient, especially as an herbal medicine in the future (Widhiantara and Jawi, 2021). However, because heavy metals act as limiting factors, besides having important functions in plant physiology, including seaweed as a source of micronutrients for growth, it becomes dangerous if the amount is above the tolerance threshold (Esposito et al, 2018;Lentini et al, 2018).…”

Highlight Research Brown seaweed heavy metals content varies between species Risk assessment showed low health risk for heavy metal from intake of the three brown seaweed The three types of brown seaweed did not show carcinogenic properties to metal Arsenic (As) Abstract Marine brown seaweed are known as one of the potential biological agents to be developed as functional food and medicinal sectors. This study aims to examine the concentration of heavy metals (Pb, Cd, Hg, and As) in brown algae (Sargassum aquifolium, Padina australis, and Turbinaria ornata.) and the possible exposure to health risks caused by consumption. Heavy metal concentrations were determined using Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS) on brown seaweed samples obtained from three different sites. The average concentration of heavy metals in the dry weight of brown seaweed remains within the guidelines established by The Food and Drug Supervisory Agency (BPOM) Number 32 of 2019 concerning the Safety and Quality of Traditional Medicines, which is then used to calculate the estimated daily intake (EDI), target hazard quotient (THQ and TTHQ), and target cancer risk (TCR) for arsenic associated with food exposure to potentially toxic metallic elements. Each species of brown seaweed has a THQ and TTHQ level of <1, indicating that one or more toxic metal elements in the same meal provide no significant non-carcinogenic risk. The TCR for arsenic in these seaweeds are all less than 1 x 10-4, indicating no cancer risk. There are no chronic health hazards related with the ingestion of brown seaweed harvested from the coast of Sanur Beach at Denpasar, Bali.

“…(Chinese name, Ainaxiang) is a very famous medicinal plant and functional tea in China and many countries of Asia, such as Malaysia, Philippines, Vietnam, and Thailand for the treatment of many diseases (Huang et al, 2022;Tan et al, 2020). Previous phytochemical investigations on this plant revealed the presence of flavonoids, monoterpenes, and sesquiterpenes (Tan & Yan, 2019;Tan et al, 2013;Widhiantara & Jawi, 2021). Ainaxiang tablets is made from the total flavonoids extracts of the leaves of B. balsamifera.…”

Blumea balsamifera is a very famous medicinal plant and functional tea in many countries of Asia. Ainaxiang tablets are a preparation consisting of flavonoids from B. balsamifera. Today, a high performance liquid chromatography method was developed for simultaneous quantification of 15 flavonoids in Ainaxiang Tablets. The analysis was performed on a Kromasil C18 column (250 × 4.6 mm, 5 µm) with a binary gradient mobile phase of acetonitrile and 0.2% aqueous acetic acid. The method was validated in terms of linearity, sensitivity, stability, precision and accuracy. It was found that this method had linearity with R 2 at 0.9992-0.9999 in the test range of 0.15-276.40 µg/mL. The limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) for 15 tested reference compounds were 0.01-0.28µg/mL and 0.02 -0.55µg/mL, respectively. The relative standard deviations (RSD%) for intra-day and inter-day repeatability were not more than 3.18%. The analyzed samples were stable for at least 18 h. The spike recoveries for 15 analyzed samples were 106.17 -95.02%. The results suggested that this newly developed HPLC method could be used for quantitative analysis of flavonoids in Ainaxiang Tablets and its raw materials.
