Health problems are still the main problems in Seleman Village, including diabetes, hyperlipidemia, gout, myalgia, and hypertension. This community service aims to improve the health and knowledge of residents in using medicine correctly and can utilize herbal plants as alternative treatments that can also be used as business opportunities. The methods used are counseling and demonstration as well as giving leaflets/brochures. This activity was carried out in the Seleman Village area.

From the pre-test results, 49.3% knew about hypertension, 40.42% knew about cholesterol, 56.78% knew about diabetes, and 51.87% knew about gout.
