Rhizomes are bitter, pungent, and its cold. Efficacious laxative fart (carminative), laxative sputum, increased appetite (stomakik), anthelmintic, and blood cleanser after childbirth or after menstruation. RESULTS AND EFFECTS pharmacological effect results rhizome juice of black meeting against worms askaris pigs in vitro and contraction of the small intestine (jejunum) separate guinea pigs in vitro as follows. Rhizome juice can kill pigs like piperasin citrate askaris. Beningan rhizomes can suppress the amplitude of spontaneous contractions of rabbit intestine (FX.S.Dirdjosudjono, Taroeno, Sudjiman, et al., Section of Pharmacology, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and Pharmacology Section, FF UGM). Based on the study power to kill worms (anthelmintics) rhizome black meeting on swine askaris worms in vitro, was the most potent anthelmintic asirinya oil compared with the juice or infusion of black meeting (Taroeno, Kun Sumardiyah S., and Sugiyanto, Pharmaceutical Biology Section, FF UGM ). Have done the research anthelmintic rhizome decoction of black meeting against Ascaridia galli in vitro. Apparently, decoction wedges black meeting can be deadly worms within 7-17 hours, grated boiled preparations within 11-20 hours, and the powder preparation within 11-25 hours. The content of essential oils on the biggest slice preparations (Endah Eny Riayati, Faculty of Pharmacy, 1989. Supervisor: Drs. Sudarto, Apt., And Dra. Sri Sumarni, SU). Maximum levels of essential oils are not sprouted at the rhizome and issue stems / leaves. Levels of essential oils grown in the Hortus Medicus Tawangmangu during the growing range of 0.25% -0.50% (A. Indrawati, Supardi, Laboratory of Pharmaceutical Biology, Faculty of Pharmacy, 1979).Utilization:PART USEDParts of plants used as medicine is a rhizome. Wash roots, then cut into pieces, new dry with aerated so that the oil content asirinya not too reduced.
INDICATIONSRhizome efficacious to overcome:no appetite,waging dirty blood discharge after delivery,skin diseases such as scabies, rashes, and ulcers,stomach pains (colic), thrush,cough, shortness of breath, andwormy
