Abstrak: Upaya swamedikasi menjadi solusi dalam masa pandemi Covid-19 dalam memberikan daya imunitas tubuh. Didukung dengan sumber daya pekarangan rumah untuk dijadikan apotek hidup. Terlebih upaya swamedikasi dapat mengobati penyakit ringan, mencegah penyakit, merawat tubuh, dan menjaga kesehatan. Tujuan dilakukan sosialisasi adalah untuk memberikan pemahaman terkait upaya swamedikasi Covid-19 berbasis ramuan tradisional. Pelaksanaan kegiatan ini melibatkan mitra desa sejumlah 28 orang dari unsur Kelompok Taruna Tani dan Karang Taruna Desa Setungkep Lingsar. Metode yang dilakukan dengan diskusi dua arah serta memberikan paparan materi terkait covid19 dan pemanfaatan tanaman obat. Dalam kegiatan sosialisasi didapatkan ada peningkatan pemahaman 82% dari hasil pre-test menjadi 98% pada post-test, sehingga dapat disimpulkan terdapat peningkatan pemahaman sesudah diberikan edukasi terkait Covid-19 dan tanaman obat.Abstract: Self-medication efforts are a solution during the Covid-19 pandemic in providing body immunity. Supported by the resources of the yard of the house to be used as a living pharmacy.

The purpose of the socialization is to provide an understanding of the efforts to self-medicate Covid-19 based on traditional ingredients. The implementation of this activity involved 28 village partners from elements of the Tani Group and the Setungkep Lingsar Village Youth Organization. The method is carried out with two-way discussions and provides exposure to material related to COVID-19 and the use of medicinal plants. In the socialization activity, it was found that there was an increase in understanding of 82% from the pre-test results to 98% in the post-test, so it can be concluded that there was an increase in understanding after being given education related to Covid-19 and medicinal plants.

Momordica charantia L seed is classified as the domestic waste even though it has many health benefits, namely as anti-tumor, anti-virus, and as a medicine to increase the body resistance. Therefore, this study was designed to examine the antioxidant activity of the ethanol extract of the seeds using the DPPH method. Furthermore, a GC-MS analysis will be carried out to determine the chemical compounds that play a role in the bioactivity. Based on the absorbance of DPPH in three repetitions, the average value of DPPH inhibition by 95% ethanol extract of bitter melon seeds was 60.45%, in which classified as a good radical absorbance. The GC-MS results showed that the ethanol extract of bitter melon seeds contained ten chemical compounds consisting of sesquiterpenes, fatty acids, and alkanes, which affecting the radical absorbance of M. charantia extract.
