Review

The article "MENGATASI STRES DAN KELELAHAN DENGAN DAUN KELOR (Moringa oleifera): SOLUSI HERBAL UNTUK ANAK MUDA" addresses a highly relevant and timely issue: stress and fatigue among young people, particularly university students. The authors propose *Moringa oleifera* as a natural herbal solution, leveraging its known bioactive compounds. The paper focuses on an educational intervention, a webinar, designed to inform participants about the potential benefits of Moringa. The reported outcome, a significant increase in participant understanding as measured by pre- and post-tests, suggests that the educational initiative was successful in conveying its message. A strength of this work lies in its clear articulation of the scientific rationale behind Moringa's proposed benefits, citing flavonoids, amino acids, and polyphenols as key compounds that may modulate stress hormones and boost energy. This scientific grounding provides a credible basis for the educational content delivered. Furthermore, the initiative's focus on preventive and promotive health through local herbal resources, specifically targeting the youth demographic, is commendable. It highlights a practical, accessible approach to well-being and encourages the utilization of indigenous plant knowledge. The successful knowledge transfer, evidenced by the pre-post test results, indicates effective dissemination of information. While the educational component of this initiative is clearly effective in improving participant understanding, a primary limitation is that the study, as described, does not directly demonstrate the *efficacy* of Moringa oleifera in reducing stress or fatigue. The abstract mentions that Moringa *can* lower stress hormones and increase energy, but the reported study only measured knowledge improvement, not actual changes in stress levels or fatigue symptoms in the participants. Future research should build upon this foundational educational work by incorporating interventional studies where participants actually consume Moringa, coupled with objective and subjective measures of stress (e.g., cortisol levels, perceived stress scales) and fatigue. This would provide empirical evidence for the therapeutic claims and further solidify Moringa's role as a viable herbal solution for these pervasive issues.
