Abstract

This article describes the results of community service integrated with the Raden Intan Lampung State Islamic University (UIN) Real Work Lecture (KKN) program in Jati Indah Village, Tanjung Bintang, South Lampung. The service focuses on revitalizing the knowledge and use of Family Medicinal Plants (TOGA) and herbal medicine as Indonesia's cultural heritage. The methods used include observation, education, training and implementation of community-based programs. Results show significant increases in knowledge, cultural awareness, and practice of using TOGA and herbal medicine in the community. The involvement of KKN students provides added value in the form of two-way knowledge transfer and valuable experience in community service. The success of this program highlights the importance of a holistic approach in revitalizing traditional healing practices in the modern era.
