Aromatherapy is a form of treatment that utilizes aromatic ingredients with a distinctive aroma that has the ability to provide a relaxing effect. With a calming fragrance, aromatherapy helps reduce tension due to various stresses. Many aromatherapy products are available in pharmaceutical form, specifically designed to help overcome symptoms or conditions of insomnia. Community Service (PkM) activities aim to introduce the process of making aromatherapy candles from lemongrass and lavender essential oils. PkM activities were carried out in Klantingsari Village, Wonosari Hamlet RT07/RW 02, Tarik Sidoarjo on Saturday, June 29, 2024. The method used during the community service process uses a participatory approach consisting of observation, training, and evaluation. The questionnaire was given to 55 respondents, a pre-test was conducted before the training was carried out, and continued with a post-test after the respondents received training and tried making aromatherapy candles. The evaluation results based on respondents' answers to understanding aromatherapy and its benefits were 94.55%, understanding of the method was 90.91%, understanding of the tools and materials used was 100%. These results show that training participants showed high enthusiasm in participating in activities and their active participation throughout the activities, thus becoming a source of additional economic value for participants. The community hopes that coaching can continue in the future.
