<![CDATA[Adopting a healthy lifestyle, which includes the use of traditional medicinal plants (TOGA), can help prevent noncommunicable diseases such as diabetes mellitus and hypertension. The goal of this project is to raise public awareness of the benefits of TOGA as a modern herbal tea that can help control blood sugar and blood pressure levels. Various methods were used, including outreach activities, blood pressure and blood sugar level checks, distribution of herbal tea, as well as organoleptic surveys and interviews. The results showed that participants responded positively to the herbal tea product, with 50% indicating they “really liked” it, 33.33% indicating they “liked” it, and 16.67% indicating they were “neutral.” Regarding aroma, 33.33% indicated they “really liked” it, 44.44% indicated they “liked” it, 16.66% were “neutral,” and 5.55% indicated they “did not like” it. for taste, “love it very much” was 55.55%, “like it” was 44.44%, and finally, for packaging, “love it very much” was 66.66%, and “like it” was 33.33%. The highest level of preference was for packaging, followed by taste, color, and aroma. This activity increased public understanding of the use of TOGA and encouraged the use of herbal tea as an alternative to support a healthy lifestyle.]]>
