Abstract: Barongan Hamlet is part of Donorojo Village, Tegalrejo District, Magelang Regency. In October 2022, Barongan Hamlet is in the top position for the number of stunting cases in the Donorojo Village area. The number of cases of stunting was recorded in 8 children out of 15 children aged < 5 years. In addition, there were 2 pregnant women, one of whom was detected as having KEK (chronic energy deficiency), so that they have the potential to give birth to stunted babies. One of the factors causing stunting is the lack of knowledge about nutrition during pregnancy and toddlerhood. Seeing the potential and natural resources of the Barongan area which is a rural area, the PPMT Team has a program to optimize the potential for local wisdom of family medicinal plants (toga), especially highly nutritious plants and baby/toddler massage. This activity was carried out using educational methods for cadres, youth, pregnant women and mothers of toddlers in Barongan Hamlet about risk factors, causal factors, prevention and management of stunting in the community. PPMT Team will train cadres, pregnant women and mothers of toddlers in utilizing highly nutritious plants that are easily found in the surrounding environment and doing Tui Na massage for toddlers. This activity is expected to support the resolution of stunting cases and prevent the emergence of new stunting cases. The results of the education and training activities carried out are an increase in knowledge about stunting, an increase in skills in empowering highly nutritious plants as a menu variation for toddlers, and skills in practicing Tui Na massage for toddlers.Keywords: Stunting; Toga; Tui Na massageAbstrak: Dusun Barongan merupakan bagian dari Desa Donorojo, Kecamatan Tegalrejo, Kabupaten Magelang.
