Abstract

Abstract - The Health promotion serves as a means to enhance public knowledge, attitudes, and health-maintenance behaviors through the utilization of local resources. One specific activity involved producing herbal rhizome tea—a traditional health beverage made from ginger, turmeric, galangal, and lemongrass—which offers potential health benefits. The initiative aimed to improve community knowledge and skills in processing herbal plants into beverages that are practical, safe, and economically valuable. The implementation method included educational sessions on the benefits of each herbal rhizome, demonstrations of the tea-making process, and hands-on practice by participants. The production stages comprised ingredient selection, washing, slicing, drying, blending, and packaging. Evaluation was conducted through the observation of participant engagement and assessments of understanding before and after the activity.
