162 The medicinal plants in Loksado Sub-District live at an altitude between 250-429 m above sea level, with varying light intensity of 480-22800 Lux. 22800 Lux is an open area without shade, whereas under the auspices of 22800 Lux means the plants need shading for live. Growing up of plant is depend on temperatures, it will reach optimum growth rate, when the temperature is at optimum conditions [2]. Temperature is correlated with the light-harvesting, so that high light intensity causes the temperature too high. Most medicinal plants live with temperatures above 31 o C or without shading, so it is appropriate development in secondary forests with the optimum temperature. Soil temperature is closely related to water uptake by plant roots [2], soil temperature determines the proper balance of water in the growing crop. Medicinal plants above ground living at temperatures between 20-29 o C. High soil temperatures found in plants are intolerant, such as; Chromolaena odorata , Melastoma sp., Capa, Parastemun cerophyllum. Table 3.

Tannins, alkaloids, saponins, flavonoids, sterols and triterpenoids can be used as an anti-diarrheal and anti-dysentery [3,4]. Flavonoids, tannins and saponins also can be used as an anti-inflammatory [5], tannins, saponins and glikosid also used for anti-microbial [6, 7]. Tannins and flavonoids can also kill the bacteria [8, 9, 4]. Most of the medicinal plants were found to have properties, such as the content contained in C. odorata, dibilas and katumbar, according local people as an upset stomachdiarrhea and also anti-bacterial, due to content of tannins and flavonoids.
