Abstract

Many people around the Gunung Leuser National Park (GLNP) conservation area, still depend on traditional medicine. The modern health service system is still unable to reach the population, some of whom still live in villages far from cities. The wild cinnamon, tidauruk (Cinnamomum cuspidatum Miq.) and tulang tiga (C. iners (Reinw.ex Nees & T.Nees) Blume) leaves are traditionally believed to have health benefits. Literature and research regarding these plants are still limited, not present in well-documented, formeven though these two plants are native to Indonesia, especially the islands of Java, Sumatra, and Kalimantan. Objective: The present study aimed to: (1) Identify and preserve the traditional knowledge of the GLNP community regarding the use of wild cinnamon; (2) Find out the chemical compound content of the two types of wild cinnamon. Methods: Direct observation and semi-structured interviews with 10 respondents and 3 key informants who are traditional healers. To determine the chemical content, a qualitative phytochemical screening was carried out. Research data is complemented by secondary data in the form of literature studies. Results: Wild cinnamon is used by the community around GLNP to relieve symptoms of colds, namely tidauruk (mild symptoms), and tulang tiga (moderate symptoms). These two types of wild cinnamon are used by drinking boiled water from the leaves. The chemical compounds contained in both types of wild cinnamon are the same, namely tannins, flavonoids, glycosides, triterpenoids, steroids, essential oils, carotenoids, coumarins, and reducing sugars. Conclusion: From the above findings, it is concluded that tidauruk and tulang tiga are trusted by the people around GLNP to relieve symptoms of colds. Tannins, flavonoids, glycosides, triterpenoids, steroids, essential oils, carotenoids, coumarins, and reducing sugars are the compounds contained in this wild cinnamon.
