Acute Respiratory Infection (ARI) is an infection that affects the upper and lower respiratory tracts and is commonly caused by viruses or bacteria. This infection frequently occurs in children. One preventive approach to ARI is the implementation of a healthy lifestyle based on herbal practices through the utilization of medicinal plants. The purpose of this community service activity was to improve participants’ knowledge and understanding of ARI and its prevention using medicinal plants at Sentosa Orphanage, Banjarmasin.
