Abstract

The Anak Dalam tribe is an indigenous tribe whose life is still primitive. This minority tribe currently inhabits the provinces of Jambi and South Sumatra. They are known by various names such as jungle people, ulu people, Anak Dalam tribe, and Kubu tribe.Their distance from the outside environment leads them to primarily utilize natural materials for their daily needs, including food and medicinal purposes. This community service activity was conducted in three stages: preparation and permit acquisition, implementation, and evaluation. The activity results demonstrated an improvement in knowledge regarding processing medicinal plants into herbal products. A total of 27 participants attended this activity, showing an improvement in knowledge from 33.33% to 88.89%.
