Abstract

The community in Cibangkong Village, Pekuncen District, Banyumas Regency, still widely uses jamu (traditional herbal medicine) as part of their daily healthcare practices, often in combination with modern medical drugs. Limited understanding of the potential interactions between herbal and pharmaceutical medicines may pose health risks. This community service activity aimed to improve public knowledge and awareness regarding the dangers of drug–herb interactions through educational and interactive approaches. The implementation methods included health education sessions and group discussions. Participants of the activity were members of Muslimat NU 1 Pekuncen. The results showed a 60% improvement in community understanding, based on simple pre-test and post-test evaluations. The community also became more cautious and motivated to consult healthcare professionals before consuming jamu together with prescription medicines. This activity successfully increased public awareness about the safe and responsible use of both modern and traditional medicines.
