Abstract

Scabies is still a health problem in Indonesia. The use of scabies drugs (scabicides) are generally made from synthetic chemical compounds. The effect of administration of chemical synthetic compounds is the resistance of mites to drugs. Basil leaves can be an alternative to scabicides because they contain essential oils with active ingredients such as eugenol, cineol and flavonoids. The purpose of this article is to review the potency of basil leaf extract and other herbal plants as a scabicide. The conclusion of this review is that Ocimum sanctum, Piper betle, Gliricidia sepium, and Azadirachta indica can be used as acaricide in the treatment of scabies in mammals.
