Abstract:
Peperomia pellucida (L.) is an herbaceous plant belonging Piperaceae family believed by traditional communities in many Southeast Asian countries including Indonesia as a medicinal plant efficacious for treating various diseases. This traditional belief has also been strengthened by various pharmacological and phytochemical research findings. However, pharmacological research on this plant is still limited to common diseases. Therefore, we conducted research to examine other pharmacological properties of the plant that are abundantly growing wild in the suburbs of Bandar Lampung. As a result, Peperomia pellucida plant extract has benefits in promoting hair growth, ameliorating male libido, recovering male fertility, and ameliorating renal cells damages.
