Temu Hitam (Curcuma aeruginosa Roxb.)

Description:
Black met there in Burma, Cambodia, Indochina, and spread to the island of Java. In addition to the garden or planted in the plantation, black met many found growing wild in the teak forests, grasslands, or in the field at an altitude of 400 to 750 m above sea level. Herbaceous plant has an annual HIGH 1 - 2 m, quasi-trunked composed of a collection of stem leaf, green or dark brown. Leaves single, long-stemmed, from 2 to 9 pieces. Leaf blade circular shape extends to lancet, pointed tip and base, flat edge, pertulangan pinnate, dark green color with the left - right mom leaves a sort of bone lengthening ribbon or a dark red violet length from 31 to 84 cm, width 10 -- -18 cm. The flower-shaped compound interest who tandannya out grain directly from rhizome, stem length from 20 to 25 cm, flowers bloom in turn of the bags of protective leaves, the base of a white patron leaves, the tip protector leaves reddish purple. Crown of yellow flowers. Rimpangnya large enough and the stem tubers. Rhizome also branching. If the old rhizome cut, looks blackish blue circle on the outside. Rhizome black appointment has a distinctive aroma. Propagation by rhizome is old enough or family separation.

Curable Disease:
Rhizome bitter, sharp, and cold nature. Peluruh potent fart (carminative), peluruh sputum, increased appetite (stomakik), anthelmintik, and cleaning the blood after birth or after menstruation. SECURITIES AND RESEARCH FINDINGS pharmacological research Intersection influence black rhizome juice of worm askaris pigs in vitro and the contraction of the small intestine (jejunum) separate guinea pig in vitro as follows. Rhizome juice can kill the pig askaris like piperasin citrate. Beningan rhizome 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 Pharmacy Section of Pharmacology, FF UGM). Based on the research to kill worms (anthelmintik) rhizome of black meeting on askaris worm pigs in vitro, it anthelmintik the most powerful oil asirinya compared to lemon infusion Intersection or black (Taroeno, Sumardiyah S. Kun, and Sugiyanto, Pharmaceutical Biology Section, FF UGM ). Has conducted research antelmintik power rhizome boiled black Intersection of Ascaridia Galli in vitro. Apparently, stewed sliced black Intersection worms can kill within 7 to 17 hours, grated boiled preparations within 11 to 20 hours, and the preparation of powder in 11 to 25 hours. Oil content of the largest in the dosage ASIRI slices (Endah Eny Riayati, Faculty of Pharmacy Gadjah Mada University, 1989. Pembimbing: Drs. Sudarto, Apt. And Dra. Sri Sumarni, SU). ASIRI oil levels are at the time of maximum rhizome not germinate and issued stems / leaves. ASIRI oil levels are growing in Hortus Medicus Tawangmangu during growth ranged 0.25% -0.50% (A. Indrawati, Supardi, Laboratory of Pharmaceutical Biology, Faculty of Pharmacy Gadjah Mada University, 1979).

Utilization:
PART USED
Plant part used as medicine is rimpangnya. Wash rhizome, then cut into pieces, new dry with air the way to diangin oil content of less asirinya reduced.

INDICATION
