Acute Respiratory Infection (ARI) is one of the most common diseases among children under five and remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Data from Pahandut Public Health Center, Palangka Raya, indicate that the detection rate of pneumonia cases among toddlers is still below the national target. Limited community knowledge regarding home-based management of mild ARI contributes to this condition. This community service activity aimed to improve mothers’ knowledge and skills in managing mild ARI through the application of complementary therapy using ginger and honey decoction. The methods included preparation, implementation, and evaluation stages. Activities consisted of coordination with stakeholders, preparation of educational media, pretest, health education sessions, demonstrations of ginger and honey preparation, and posttest evaluations. The activity was conducted in Pahandut Village, Palangka Raya City, involving 27 participants. The results showed an increase in participants’ knowledge after the educational intervention. The proportion of participants with good knowledge increased from 20% during the pretest to 80% during the posttest. Furthermore, most participants were able to correctly demonstrate the preparation of ginger and honey decoction. This activity indicates that health education combined with complementary therapy demonstrations can effectively improve mothers’ knowledge and skills in managing mild ARI among toddlers at homeReferences
