Studi Literatur Pemanfaatan Daun Waru Laut (Hibiscus Tiliaceus) sebagai Obat Tradisional untuk Mengatasi Penyakit Tuberkulosis (TBC)
Keywords:
Sea Hibiscus Leaves, Hibiscus Tiliaceus, Tuberculosis, Traditional Medicine, Bioactive Compounds, Complementary TherapyAbstract
The utilization of Sea Hibiscus (Hibiscus tiliaceus) leaves as a traditional medicine to treat Tuberculosis (TB) has gained increasing attention as resistance to modern drugs rises. This study aims to analyze the pharmacological potential of Sea Hibiscus leaves based on existing literature studies. Sea Hibiscus leaves contain bioactive compounds such as flavonoids, tannins, saponins, and alkaloids, which are known to have antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. Through data collection from scientific journals, books, and recent research reports, this study found that the active compounds in Sea Hibiscus leaves have the potential to inhibit the growth of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the pathogen that causes TB. The use of Sea Hibiscus leaves as complementary therapy offers a safe and affordable alternative solution, especially for communities with limited access to modern healthcare services. However, further research, including clinical trials, is still needed to determine its effectiveness and safety. This study recommends the development of herbal products based on Sea Hibiscus leaves and public education regarding its benefits as traditional medicine. It is hoped that the results of this study can be a scientific basis for the development of more holistic and affordable TB therapy in Indonesia.References
