This article examines the significance of traditional medicine as a valuable resource for inspiring the advancement of novel pharmaceuticals and alternative medical practices in contemporary times. This article pertains to community service initiatives conducted by Bukit Pinang Village, Samarinda City, East Borneo. The primary objective of these activities is to enhance community awareness on the categorization of traditional medicines and their associated safety considerations. These findings of this study revealed that a significant proportion of the participants were female, encompassing a diverse range of age groups. Most participants exhibited a robust comprehension of the classification of traditional medicine, perceiving it as a comparatively organic and less hazardous substitute for conventional medicine. Following counselling sessions and the provisions of educational videos, a significant number of participants came to recognize the significance of obtaining the registration permit number issued by the Badan Pengawas Obat dan Makanan (BPOM). Despite perceiving the inspection procedure as complex, several participants-maintained confidences in the safety of traditional medicine that adhered to the regulations set forth by the BPOM.
