Abstract
Medicinal plants are plants that have properties for preventing and treating disease. Medicinal plants have properties because they contain active compounds resulting from secondary plant metabolism, namely flavonoids, alkaloids, phenols, tannins, saponins, triterpenoids and steroids. Red ginger is a medicinal plant that has been widely studied because it has antibacterial activity. Based on the results of discussions with representatives Duren Sawit Subdistrict, it was found that there had been no education to the public regarding antimicrobial activity in rhizome plants. The aim of this community service is to increase public knowledge regarding the antibacterial potential of native Indonesian rhizome plants.
