Abstract

Many members of the community do not have sufficient knowledge about the benefits of herbs and how to use them properly. This often leads to distrust of the effectiveness of herbs as an alternative treatment. The habit of consuming modern medicines is more dominant than herbs. This is triggered by the perception that modern medicine provides results faster. Limited access to information about the types of herbs and their benefits, as well as limited access to quality herbal products in some areas. In 2024, there were 56 PCIM members studying in Thailand and around 130 Indonesian students studying internationally at Khoen Kaen University (KKU).

This legacy is expected to continue to be utilized by the younger generation, especially international students, as an alternative to increase endurance and overcome physical complaints. Indonesia and Thailand have similarities in the use of herbs as medicine, including ginger, melon, nutmeg, cinnamon, chili, cloves, galangal, lemongrass, honey and others.

After being given counseling and practice in making herbal drinks, participants were able to learn the types, benefits and how to process spices as herbal drinks to be used as safe and effective alternative medicine.

Abstract

This community service program aimed to improve knowledge and awareness of perimenopause and menopause among Indonesian migrant women in South Korea. Many Indonesian female workers face unique challenges related to hormonal changes, limited health access, and low reproductive health literacy. The activity was conducted at Rumah Indonesia Seoul (RUMAISA) through interactive counseling, bilingual educational materials, and relaxation practice sessions. A total of 35 participants attended the session, which included pre-test and post-test evaluations. The results showed a significant increase in participants’ understanding of hormonal changes, menopause management, and healthy lifestyle practices. This program demonstrates that culturally sensitive, bilingual health education can effectively enhance reproductive health awareness and support the well-being of migrant women.
