- Abstract
This health promotion activity aims to increase knowledge and health quality of partner elderly groups in the use of herbal supplements, which consist of Black Seed, honey and Sumbawa oil. The implementation of this community service uses a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach, namely the active involvement of elderly Posyandu participants to utilize herbal supplements to support the treatment of Covid-19 for adjuvant treatment and care for post-Covid-19 infection, education, and health checks in the form of measuring body temperature, pressure blood and oxygen saturation. This activity begins with conducting a pretest to find out the knowledge of health promotion participants before conducting education and mentoring. Community service activities are continued by providing education, mentoring and ending with conducting an evaluation to assess post health education knowledge. Community service was carried out for partners for 1 month, by providing education about the benefits of herbal supplements to improve the health quality of patients after Covid-19 infection by reducing or eliminating persistent sequelae they experience. The results of providing education after the evaluation showed significant changes in the participants^ knowledge scores before and after education.
