A Status Review on Health-Promoting Properties and Global Regulation of Essential Oils.

Since ancient times, essential oils (EOs) have been known for their therapeutic potential against many health issues. Recent studies suggest that EOs may contribute to the regulation and modulation of various biomarkers and cellular pathways responsible for metabolic health as well as the development of many diseases, including cancer, obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and bacterial infections. During metabolic dysfunction and even infections, the immune system becomes compromised and releases pro-inflammatory cytokines that lead to serious health consequences. The bioactive compounds present in EOs (especially terpenoids and phenylpropanoids) with different chemical compositions from fruits, vegetables, and medicinal plants confer protection against these metabolic and infectious diseases through anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-cancer, and anti-microbial properties. In this review, we have highlighted some targeted physiological and cellular actions through which EOs may exhibit anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, and anti-microbial properties. In addition, it has been observed that EOs from specific plant sources may play a significant role in the prevention of obesity, diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, microbial infections, and increasing breast milk production, along with improvements in heart, liver, and brain health. The current status of the bioactive activities of EOs and their therapeutic effects are covered in this review. However, with respect to the health benefits of EOs, it is very important to regulate the dose and usage of EOs to reduce their adverse health effects. Therefore, we specified that some countries have their own regulatory bodies while others follow WHO and FAO standards and legislation for the use of EOs.

HUBUNGAN TINGKAT PENDIDIKAN TERHADAP PENGGUNAAN LAKTAGOGUM

Lactagogum is a drug that can increase or facilitate the production of milk. Synthetic lactagogums are not widely known and relatively expensive. This causes the need for alternative laktagogum drugs. Efforts to increase breast milk production can be done by carrying out early and routine breast care, improving breastfeeding techniques, or by consuming foods that can affect breast milk production. One of the reasons for the failure of exclusive breastfeeding is the perception of insufficient breast milk, which can be caused by physiological and psychological factors. Education is a very important factor in this life, which is why education is a very important business of all time. Increasing breast milk production can be done in various ways, one of which is increasing the intake of lactagogum. Lactagogum is a drug that can increase or facilitate the production of milk. The sample in this study were breastfeeding mothers who had babies ranging in age from 3 to 6 months spread throughout Indonesia. This study was conducted by distributing a questionnaire to assess education and the use of Lactagogue as a food to increase breast milk production. Dissemination of questionnaires can be done manually or via Google Drive links which are distributed to several regions in Indonesia. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between education and the use of laktagogums. The research results are there is a relationship between education and the use of Lactagogum.

Effect of hypnotherapy on prolactin level in women after cesarean section

BackgroundPostpartum depression occurs in women after cesarean section, due to increased cortisol and decreased prolactin levels, leading to delayed breast milk production. Hypnotherapy is one of the most effective and efficient complementary therapy options for reducing postpartum depression. Hypnotherapy increases oxytocin secretion from the paraventricular nucleus of the anterior pituitary gland, decreases cortisol levels, and increases prolactin, thereby increasing breast milk production. This study evaluates hypnotherapy’s effect on prolactin levels after a cesarean section. MethodsThis study was an experimental non-blinded randomized controlled trial with a post-test-only control group design conducted at Dr. Moewardi General Hospital and UNS hospital. A total of 20 post-cesarean -section women were included in the study. They were randomized into two groups, a group I: given hypnotherapy, and group 2: the control group (without hypnotherapy). Both groups were tested for prolactin levels. Group I received hypnotherapy 6 to 12 hours post-cesarean section, and study participants were confirmed to be unaffected by the anesthetic. Data analysis used the independent t-test and p<0.05. ResultsAt baseline, there was no significant difference in age, parity, and indication for cesarean section between the hypnotherapy and the control groups (p>0.05). After intervention, the mean prolactin level was higher in the hypnotherapy group (247.6 ± 81.1 ng/mL) compared to the control group (120.1 ± 55.4 ng/mL) (p<0.001). ConclusionHypnotherapy increases post-cesarean prolactin levels compared to the controls. Our findings open up a wide range of potential hypnotic applications among women with postpartum depression.

ANALISIS MUTU PRODUK COOKIES BERBASIS JANTUNG PISANG SEBAGAI ALTERNATIF MAKANAN SELINGAN IBU MENYUSUI

Low production of breast milk in breastfeeding mothers is one of the factors causing the low coverage of exclusive breastfeeding in infants. One of the efforts to increase breast milk production is to provide food lactogenic formula. Indonesia has many local foodstuffs that can help facilitate breast milk production, one of which is the banana heart. Banana heart-based cookies are a form of food product development to improve product quality as an alternative food interlude for breastfeeding mothers rich in flavonoids. This study aims to determine the effect of wheat flour and banana heart flour formulations on organoleptic properties and total flavonoid levels. The research was experimental using a Complete Random Design (CRD) one factor; the balance of wheat flour and banana heart flour 25%:75%, 50%:50%, and 75%:25%. The quality testing of cookies was conducted by a hedonic test conducted by 30 trained panelists. The UV-Vis Spectrophotometric method analyzed the total flavonoid levels with AlCl3 reagents. The results showed an influence of the balance of wheat flour and banana heart flour on the taste, texture, and overall cookies (p<0.05). The most preferred cookies by panelists are cookies with wheat flour formula and banana heart flour 75%:25%. One serving of cookies is 52 grams or as many as four pieces. The total content of flavonoid cookies is based on the test results on the most preferred products at 36.92 ppm. Further research is needed to determine the effect of giving cookies on the production of breast milk intended as a snack for breastfeeding mothers.
