Traditional medicine is a preparation derived from plants which are known to have benefits for human health. Traditional medicine is known to the public by the name of herbal medicine consisting of herbs, standardized herbal medicines and phytopharmaca. Public knowledge about the classification of traditional medicines is still very lacking, in fact many often buy and consume traditional medicines that do not yet have a distribution permit from BPOM RI. The purpose of this community service is to help introduce the classification of traditional medicines and the processing of natural resources as raw materials for traditional medicines to students at SMA Negeri 7 Wajo Regency. The community service method is carried out by providing education through direct counseling in the form of demonstrations to students and students regarding how to distinguish traditional medicines containing medicinal plants and how to process them. The results of community service activities are that students are able to distinguish the types of classification of traditional medicines using a simple method.
