High prevalence of traditional medicine used as a promotive, preventive and curative for disease is still a choice among the community, especially during the transition period of the COVID-19 pandemic, one of which is the community in RT 09 Mudung Laut Village, Pelayangan District, Jambi City. Community service in Mudung laut was carried out to maximise the benefits of plants as traditional medicine and providing information to the people of Mudung Laut Village regarding the identification and introduction of medicinal plants so that the community can process medicinal plants properly without destroying the active substance content. The method of community service carried out was through preparation stages, implementing the service in the form of socializing material with some themes and the final stage was searching for medicinal plants around the house and processing ginger into powder and granule.
