Abstract

Hypertension is the most common health problem in the world. Approximately one million people worldwide, or one in every four people, suffer from this disease. Hypertension not only gradually reduces the severity of the condition but also contributes to the development of other diseases that cause increased blood pressure and organ damage, such as stroke in the brain, coronary heart disease in the heart, and heart muscle damage. Management of hypertensive patients can be done with a non-pharmacological approach. One traditional medicine that can lower blood pressure is red ginger, which is one of the herbal therapies for treating hypertension. The success of healthcare workers in carrying out their role is expected to help patients overcome hypertension after being given intervention. Based on the results of community service activities in Gampong Aron, Kuta Baro, Aceh Besar, it can be concluded that the community has gained understanding in identifying hypertension and ways to treat hypertension with herbal remedies.

Abstract

Cerebrovascular disease is a condition in which rapidly developing clinical signs in the form of focal and global neurological disorders appear. These signs can worsen and persist for more than 24 hours and can cause death. The aim of this activity is to increase public understanding of how to prevent this disease and reduce its complications. The venue for this event is Kuwue Montasik village in Aceh Besar. The Kuwue village community, consisting of 18 people, attended in person. This community service method was implemented through training and discussion. The activity began on 20 August 2025 at 10:00 a.m. and lasted until completion. Starting with participant data, the activity continued with a presentation of the objectives and material on the risk factors for this disease, better known as stroke, its triggers, and its complications. The activity showed that the community understood low-fibre diets, low physical activity, smoking, and excessive salt use in cooking. It was recommended that the community improve their lifestyle, diet, and rest patterns, and families should continue to provide strong motivation to family members who are vulnerable to danger. In addition, the responsibility of health workers to provide consistent education should be increased.
