Abstract

This community service activity aims to provide education and empowerment in the production of instant dry herbal medicine (jamu) made from turmeric (Curcuma domestica Val.) and Javanese ginger (Curcuma xanthorrhiza Roxb.) as appetite stimulants. Family medicinal plants (TOGA) such as turmeric and Javanese ginger have significant potential as phytopharmaceutical raw materials, particularly for naturally enhancing appetite, yet they are rarely utilized optimally by the community. This activity was implemented through lectures, outreach, and hands-on practice involving local community partners. The material provided included an introduction to the active ingredients and benefits of both plants, as well as training in making instant herbal medicine in the form of a water-soluble powder. The activity results showed a 75% increase in participants' knowledge based on pre- and post-test evaluations. Furthermore, participants were able to independently produce instant herbal medicine using simple techniques and expressed interest in developing this product as a home business. This activity demonstrates that education combined with practical application can increase the use of local medicinal plants and encourage community independence in managing family health and herbal-based economics.

Abstract

Back pain is one of the most common complaints experienced by postpartum mothers, primarily due to changes in posture during pregnancy and the labor process. Non-pharmacological management, such as effleurage massage with the aid of essential oils, is believed to effectively reduce pain levels. This study aims to determine the level of back pain in postpartum mothers before and after the administration of effleurage massage using lemongrass and eucalyptus essential oils, and to analyze the effect of this therapy on reducing back pain at the Gambir Baru Public Health Center (Puskesmas). This study utilized a quantitative method with a pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design. The sample consisted of 30 postpartum mothers who met the inclusion criteria, selected using a total sampling technique. The pain measurement instrument used was the Wong-Baker FACES Pain Rating Scale (VAS) observation sheet. Effleurage massage combined with lemongrass and eucalyptus essential oils is proven effective in reducing back pain in postpartum mothers. This therapy can serve as an alternative non-pharmacological intervention in postpartum midwifery care.
