Introduction: The benefits of Imperata cylindrica (I. cylindrica) leaves and their relationship to the content of phytochemical compounds have been widely studied. The aim of this study was to promote I. cylindrica leaves from Kertajati Subdistrict in Majalengka Regency in their use as a medicinal plant based on the four parameters, namely the content of total phenolic content, total flavonoid content, total tannin content, and antioxidant activity. The four parameters that become the basis for the benefits of the leaves were compared with the four parameters of the roots. Methods: Quantification of total phenolic content, total flavonoid content, total tannin content, and antioxidant activity used Folin-Ciocalteu, aluminium chloride, Fe(III) chloride and 1.10-Phenanthroline, and 1,1-diphenyl-2-pikrilhidrazil (DPPH) methods, respectively. All methods used visible spectrophotometric method. Results: The percentages of total phenolic content, total flavonoid content, total tannin content, and IC50 of antioxidant activity of I. cylindrica leaves extract were 9\% (GAE), 2.1\% (QE), 5.6\% (TAE), and 100.5 ppm, respectively. Then, the percentages of I. cylindrica roots extract showed the percentages of total phenolic content, total flavonoid content, total tannin content, and IC50 of antioxidant activity were 5.8\% (GAE), 0.64\% (QE), 3\% (TAE), and 241 ppm, respectively. Conclusion: The extract of I. cylindrica leaves contained the phenolic compound, namely flavonoids, tannins and other phenolic compounds, and had antioxidant activity. All parameters have been reported to have positive effect on health. Therefore, the leaves of I. cylindrica from Kertajati Subdistrict are discovered to have effects on health which are suitable to be promoted as a medicinal plant.

Introduction: The aim of the study was to discover the implementation of the government regulations, such as the healthy living community movements (GERMAS) and utilization of jamu (herbal medicine/ traditional medicine) in village communities. Methods: The respondents in study were three groups: village cadres (they represented senior generation), junior high school students, and senior high school students (they represented young generation). All respondents were given the same questions, namely the frequency of eating vegetables and fruits; their favorite vegetable and fruit; knowledge of spices used as jamu. Especially, the senior group was given additional questions regarding what was their purpose in drinking jamu and how they got the jamu. Results: The total frequency of vegetable consumption for 3-7 days/week from three groups of respondents, namely village cadres, senior high school and junior high school students, were 98\%, 88\% and 68\% respectively; the frequency of fruit consumption were 86\%, 92\% and 90\% respectively. The favorite vegetable and fruit were Ipomoea aquatica and Musa paradisiaca, respectively. The knowledge regarding the benefits of spices as traditional medicine, the two spices were mostly known by all respondents were Curcuma longa and Zingiber officinale. The percentage knowledge for Curcuma longa were 32.47\%, 23.81\%, 23.45\% respectively; and Zingiber officinale were 23.38\%, 27.89\%, 29.66\% respectively. The purpose of drinking jamu for maintain health and knowledge to make jamu were 91\% and 15.2\%, respectively. Conclusion: Based on the results as previously described, the government regulations (Germas and use of jamu) in the village was continuous between the two generations.

Introduction: Develop the healthy living communities with enhance ability of community in using herbs or traditional medicine in the family health system was supported by the government regulations. Materials and Method: The study only took point 3 out of 10 points Essential Public Health Services. The point was to inform and educate the public about health, the factors that influence it, and efforts to improve it. This point was realized by collecting and selecting the formulas that have been published by the government to be summarized based on the indication of disease, quantity of herbs and water (including the parts of herb), processing of formulation and drinking rules, etc. Results: 17 Formulations of traditional medicinal herbs are valuable for the indication of diseases: arthritis, reduce blood fat /blood cholesterol, reduce blood glucose, reduce body weight, maintaining the health conditions of cancer patient, cough, diabetes mellitus, gastritis, gout, hemorrhoids, reduce high blood pressure, liver problem, nausea and vomiting, uric acid, increase urine volumes, urinary stone/kidney stone, and physical fitness. Conclusion: The formulas could be used and was introduced to the community for encouraging health literacy, empowering the community to build a family health system. Finally, the exploration of traditional medicine formulas could support the developing use and implementation of traditional medicines in the Government Healthcare Program.

In 80 \% of developing countries as stated by official fact sheets and report a large proportion of the society still relies on traditional practitioners and their armamentarium of medicinal plants in order to meet health care needs. The study on Psidium Guajava L. fruit ethanol extract from Dukuhwaluh village, Purwokerto, Central Java, Indonesia showed its potential in increasing the number of megakaryocytes, followed by the rise of thrombocyte values. The study{\textquoteright}s objective was to compare the quantity of the quercetin content in 50\% and 70\% ethanol. This study was of experimental design and began by determining the effective concentration of two groups of guava fruits ethanol extract. The percentage of quercetin content dissolved within 50\% ethanol was 54.7344 mg/kg, and 70\% ethanol was 28.8420 mg/kg respectively. Quercetin content of Psidium Guajava L. fruit ethanol extract fruits in 50\% hydroethanolic was higher than that of 70\% hydroethanolic extract.
