Based on the pre-test and post-test scores of the participants, there was a difference in scores of 19%. These results indicate that the participants' knowledge increased after being given counseling. In the future, the people of Babakanraden Village, Bogor Regency, can apply knowledge about traditional medicine, especially that based on local wisdom, as an effort to be independent in preventing disease.
