Inovasi Sirup Herbal Jahe Madu Sebagai Produk Teknologi Tepat Guna Penunjang Stamina Di Bulan Ramadhan

Abstract

The health condition of the community during Ramadhanrequires special attention due to changes in eating patterns and rest times that can affect body immunity. Insufficient optimal nutrition intake may lower the immune system, increasing the risk of health problems. This study aims to develop an innovative ginger honey syrup as a functional beverage that helps maintain body immunity during Ramadhan. The community service activity was carried out through health education, training on how to make ginger honey syrup, and socialization on the benefits of herbal drinks in boosting body immunity. The methods used included counseling on the benefits of ginger and honey, a demonstration on making herbal syrup, and evaluating community understanding through pre-test and post-test. The results of this activity showed an increase in the community's knowledge about the importance of consuming herbal drinks for health, as well as skills in making safe and hygienic ginger honey syrup. With this innovative product, it is hoped that the community can independently utilize natural ingredients to maintain health during Ramadhan.
