. Indonesia sebagai salah satu negara yang memiliki hutan terluas di dunia menyimpan potensi sumber daya alam hayati sebagai sumber pangan dan obat obatan yang sangat besar. Puluhan ribu jenis tanaman tumbuh di Indonesia. Dari sekian banyak tanaman tersebut hanya sedikit yang dapat dimanfaatkan sebagai obat atau diketuhui memiliki nilai manfaat. Fenomena ini bisa terjadi karena faktor ketidaktahuan masyarakat tentang potensi tumbuhan obat yang ada di sekitarnya. Apalagi ragam tumbuhan obat ini ternyata bukan hanya tumbuhan yang sengaja ditanam sebagai tumbuhan obat, tetapi juga bisa berasal dari tumbuhan rempah-rempah atau bumbu dapur, tumbuhan pagar, tumbuhan buah, tumbuhan sayur dan sebagainya yang dimanfaatkan untuk mengobati berbagai macam penyakit. Ada banyak cara untuk mengenalkan tumbuhan obat serta khasiatnya kepada masyarakat. Cara yang paling sederhana yaitu pembuatan taman obat sebagai media pengenalan manfaat tumbuhan obat. Selain itu adalah diadakannya kegiatan-kegiatan pelatihan dalam pembuatan bahan awetan herbarium di laboratorium sekolah. Meskipun demikian masih banyak juga sekolah yang belum memiliki fasilitas laboratorium yang memadai. Kegiatan pengabdian ini dilaksanakan di MA Al Asror Patemon sebagai bagian untuk pengenalan cara pembuatan herbarium sederhana. Pengabdian ini juga sebagai wahana untuk pengenalan kembali tumbuhan obat yang banyak dimanfaatkan masyarakat dalam sistem pengobatan tradisional mereka.
