Produksi Air Susu Ibu (ASI) merupakan faktor penting dalam menunjang keberhasilan pemberian ASI eksklusif dan pemenuhan kebutuhan gizi bayi. Namun, sebagian ibu postpartum mengalami hambatan dalam produksi ASI yang dipengaruhi oleh faktor hormonal, status gizi, kelelahan, kondisi psikologis, serta teknik menyusui yang belum optimal. Upaya untuk meningkatkan produksi ASI dapat dilakukan melalui pendekatan farmakologis maupun nonfarmakologis. Salah satu metode nonfarmakologis yang banyak digunakan secara tradisional adalah konsumsi daun bangun-bangun (Coleus amboinicus Lour). Daun bangun-bangun mengandung berbagai senyawa aktif seperti flavonoid, alkaloid, polifenol, zat besi, kalsium, dan minyak atsiri yang dipercaya mampu merangsang sekresi hormon prolaktin dan oksitosin yang berperan dalam proses produksi ASI. Selain itu, daun bangun-bangun dikenal memiliki efek galaktagogum yang dapat membantu meningkatkan kuantitas dan kualitas ASI secara alami. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengidentifikasi pengaruh pemberian daun bangun-bangun (Coleus amboinicus Lour) terhadap produksi ASI ibu postpartum berdasarkan literature review. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode systematic literature review dengan menelaah berbagai artikel penelitian yang diperoleh melalui Google Scholar tahun 20212025. Hasil literature review menunjukkan bahwa pemberian daun bangun-bangun memberikan pengaruh positif terhadap peningkatan produksi ASI pada ibu postpartum. Indikator peningkatan produksi ASI ditunjukkan melalui peningkatan frekuensi menyusui, kelancaran pengeluaran ASI, peningkatan berat badan bayi, serta tanda kecukupan ASI pada bayi setelah menyusu. Dengan demikian, daun bangun-bangun dapat dijadikan sebagai alternatif terapi nonfarmakologis yang aman, mudah diperoleh, dan efektif dalam mendukung peningkatan produksi ASI pada ibu postpartum.

Breast milk production is an important factor in supporting the success of exclusive breastfeeding and fulfilling the nutritional needs of infants. However, some postpartum mothers experience obstacles in breast milk production due to hormonal factors, nutritional status, fatigue, psychological conditions, and breastfeeding techniques that are not optimal. Efforts to increase breast milk production can be carried out through pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches. One of the non-pharmacological methods that is widely used traditionally is the consumption of bangun-bangun leaves (Coleus amboinicus Lour). Bangun-bangun leaves contain various active compounds such as flavonoids, alkaloids, polyphenols, iron, calcium, and essential oils which are believed to stimulate the secretion of prolactin and oxytocin hormones involved in the breast milk production process. In addition, bangun-bangun leaves are known to have galactagogue properties that can help improve the quantity and quality of breast milk naturally. The purpose of this study was to identify the effect of giving bangun-bangun leaves (Coleus amboinicus Lour) on breast milk production in postpartum mothers based on a literature review. This study used a systematic literature review method by reviewing various research articles obtained through Google Scholar from 2021 to 2025. The results of the literature review showed that the administration of bangun-bangun leaves had a positive effect on increasing breast milk production in postpartum mothers. Indicators of increased breast milk production were shown by increased frequency of breastfeeding, smoother milk flow, increased infant weight, and signs of infant satiety after breastfeeding. Therefore, bangun-bangun leaves can be used as a safe, easily accessible, and effective non-pharmacological alternative to support increased breast milk production in postpartum mothers.
