Keywords:
Alternative medicine, Community Empowerment, Herbal tea, Respiratory health, Traditional therapyAbstract
This community service activity aims to provide health education as well as introduce gurah tea as a safe and legal alternative to traditional medicine in dealing with respiratory tract disorders. Gurah tea comes from local herbal ingredients that have been used for generations, but its benefits and proper use are not widely known. The target of this activity is people who are vulnerable to respiratory tract diseases such as chronic cough, asthma, and upper respiratory tract infections. The methods used included health counseling, hands-on demonstrations of making and consuming gurah tea, and interactive discussions to answer community questions. The results of the activity showed an increase in participants' knowledge about respiratory health and an introduction to gurah tea as a complementary therapy. Participants also showed high interest in trying and cultivating gurah tea raw materials independently. This activity is expected to increase public awareness of the importance of maintaining natural respiratory health and encourage the utilization of local potential as a safe and legal local wisdom-based health solution.
