Citrus hystrix or Jeruk Purut is a type of Rutaceae family that is used as food and traditional medicinal ingredients. Various traditional dishes in Indonesia use Citrus hystrix as a cooking spice and are believed to give a distinctive and refreshing aroma. The use of plants as cooking spices or medicines is related to their bioactive compounds, especially in their use as medicine. The purpose of this study was to explain the relationship between the use of Citrus hystrix and its bioactivity. This study combines market surveys in several traditional markets in North Sumatra and literature studies on the results of research published online and offline about the bioactivity of Citrus hystrix. Respondents in this study were all medicinal plant traders who trade Citrus hystrix. Some of the keywords used for online searches are Citrus hystrix and bioactivity of Citrus hystrix, then they are synthesized so they can explain the purpose. Citrus hystrix has long been traded in the traditional markets of Kabanjahe, Berastagi, and Pancur Batu under the local name "Rimo Mungkur". The local people of North Sumatra, especially the Batak ethnic group, use Citrus hystrix as an ingredient for various ritual events and as a medicinal ingredient. In traditional medicine Citrus hystrix is used to treat fever, fractures, oukup (traditional sauna), malnutrition. Bioactivity of Citrus hystrix is antioxidant, anticancer, antimicrobial, hepatoprotective, and aromatherapy. The bioactivity of Citrus hystrix is thought to be related to its essential oil content, especially limonene, citronellal, and β-pinene. Citrus hystrix is a nautracetical plant that has the potential to be developed as a natural preservative for food and for aromatherapy.

The medicinal plant traders in the Pancur batu traditional market have been utilized and traded as many as 10 species of Zingiberaceae rhizome, most of them belonging Curcuma and Zingiber genera. The characteristics of rhizomes are recognized by traders through their size, color, and aroma. The cross-section of the rhizomes of each species is different in structure and color which is used as the main marker for each species. Rhizoma Zingiberaceae is used as the main ingredient for tawar (semi-solid medicinal herbs consumed by brewing), parem (solid medicinal ingredients), and oukup (traditional Karo sauna). The rhizome aroma of each species belonging Zingiberaceae is very distinctive which is related to the content of essential oils. The use of Zingiberaceae rhizomes as tawar and parem ingredients needs to be studied further so that they are developed into standardized herbs.

This study aimed to provide an ethnobotanical description, productivity  and propagation, essential oil of andaliman and the application as traditional medicine in Lake Toba. Botanical characters were collected by observing phenology and distilling essential oils. The ethnomedicine information was collected through in-depth interviews with farmers and herbal practitioners, meanwhile, phytochemical content was identified based on various primary literature. Results showed flowering period occurs  from March until April and followed by fruiting in May to September. Fruits were widely processed as cooking spices for various cuisines. It played an important role in local people’s diet by supplying carbohydrate, minerals and vitamins. This ingredient was favoured for its citrus-colored oil content and a spicy taste with an appetizing aroma. This spice was also utilized in traditional medicine. Both dry and fresh fruits were used for gums and dental disorders as dyspepsia or lotion for scabies. Fresh roots were also used to cure dental problems. All plant plants contain essential oil with a higher concentration in fruits (4.89%). The local wisdom also reveals the essential oil utilization as an antimicrobial ingredient that could be further processed as a food preservative. To increase generative propagation, seed dormancy breaking treatment through a low-intensity burning can increase the germination rate.

Abstract Background: Medicinal plants are the fundamental unit of traditional medicine system in Nepal. Nepalese people are rich in traditional medicine especially in folk medicine (ethnomedicine) and this system is gaining much attention after 1995. The use of medicinal plants have increased during COVID-19 pandemic as a private behavior (not under the control of government). Lot of misinterpretations of the use of medicinal plants to treat or prevent COVID-19 have been spreading throughout Nepal which need to be managed proactively. In this context, a research was needed to document medicinal plants used, their priority of use in society, cultivation status and source of information people follow to use them. This study aimed to document the present status of medicinal plant use and make important suggestion to the concern authorities.Methods: This study used a web-based survey to collect primary data related to medicinal plants used during COVID-19. A total of 774 respondents took part in the survey. The study calculated the relative frequencies of citation (RFC) for the recorded medicinal plants. The relationship between plants recorded and different covariates (age, gender education, occupation, living place, and treatment methods were assessed using Kruskal Wallis test and Wilcox test. The relationship between the information sources people follow and respondent characteristics, were assessed using chi-square test.Results:The study found that the use of medicinal plants has increased during COVID-19 and most of the respondents recommended medicinal plants to prevent COVID-19. This study recorded a total of 63 plants belonging to 42 families. The leaves of the plants were the most frequently used. The Zingiber officinale was the most cited species with the frequency of citation 0.398. Most of the people (45.61%), were getting medicinal plants from their home garden. The medicinal plants recorded were significantly associated with the education level, location of home, primary treatment mode, gender, and age class. The information source of plants was significantly associated with the education, gender, method of treatment, occupation, living with family, and location of home during lockdown caused by COVID-19.Conclusions:People were using more medicinal plants during COVID-19 claiming that they can prevent or cure COVID-19. This should be taken seriously by concerned authorities. The authorities should test the validity of these medicinal plants and control the flow of false information spread through research and awareness programs.

Poguntano (Picriafel-terraeLour.) is a medicinal plant in North Sumatra that has been used in traditional medicine to treat degenerative diseases.Poguntano extract contains flavonoid compounds that have the potential to be developed into immunomodulators. This study showed the immunostimulant activity of poguntano herb n-hexane extract (PHNHE), poguntano herb ethyl acetate extract (PHEAE) and poguntano herb ethanol extract (PHEE) in immunosuppressed rats infected with Staphylococcus aureus. The evidence of poguntano herb as an immunomodulator was carried out by testing total leukocytes and differential leukocytes. Poguntano herb n-hexane extract (PHNHE) can not increase the total and differential leukocytes; Poguntano herb ethyl acetate extract (PHEAE) and poguntano herb ethanol extract (PHEE) can increase the total and differential leukocytes in immunosuppressed rats induced by Staphylococcus aureus.
