Abstract

The use of herbal plants as part of efforts to maintain public health has been a traditional practice passed down from generation to generation in Indonesia. Various local plants, such as ginger, turmeric, galangal, and others, are known to contain active compounds that provide potential health benefits, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory properties, and the ability to naturally support physical well-being. Although modern medicine continues to develop, the use of herbal plants remains popular due to their accessibility, relatively affordable cost, and strong connection to local community wisdom. The results of the socialization program showed a significant improvement in community knowledge regarding the benefits of natural herbal plants for health. Before the educational intervention, only around 30% of participants understood the health benefits of herbal plants. After the socialization program, this percentage increased to 95%, indicating a substantial improvement in public understanding. Most participants considered the socialization program to be very beneficial (80%) or beneficial (20%), and none of the participants perceived the program as less beneficial. This high level of satisfaction demonstrates the effectiveness of the socialization methods used and the relevance of the materials delivered. The socialization regarding the use of natural herbal plants for health was highly beneficial and well accepted by the community. It is expected that similar programs can be implemented more widely, not only in Lidah Tanah Village, Perbaungan, Serdang Bedagai, but also in other villages to improve community knowledge and skills in utilizing natural herbal plants for health purposes. The target participants of this activity were 30 residents of Lidah Tanah Village, Perbaungan, Serdang Bedagai.
