Abstract

Blumea balsamifera (L.) DC. or Sembung is a flowering plant belonging to the genus Blumea of the family Asteraceae. Many pharmacological activities of this plant show potential in human therapy. In this study, an investigation was conducted on the ethanolic extract of B. balsamifera collected from a geothermal area known as Ie-Jue, in Aceh Province, Indonesia. The results showed that the ethanolic extract of B. balsamifera contained secondary metabolites of flavonoids and tannins. Chemical constituents of ethanolic extracts B. balsamifera further analysis using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) show that active compounds from this plant was Proximadiol (C15H28O2) with relative area 41.76%. This research underscores the compelling potential of the Ie-Jue geothermal area as a promising reservoir of flora owing to the plant's adaptability to geothermal extremities.
