This article is a mixed-method research study with the following objectives: 1) to compare the total phenolic content and antioxidant activity in fresh and dried Hanuman Prasan Kai leaves, using t-test statistical analysis, and 2) to study guidelines for promoting the use of Hanuman Prasan Kai herb to supplement asthma treatment in the community. Descriptive statistics were employed through content analysis. The results are divided into two parts: 1) The results of the total phenolic content analysis of fresh Hanuman Prasan Kai leaves (42.77 ± 1.63 mg GAE/g extract) and dried leaves (38.37 ± 4.18 mg GAE/g extract), and the antioxidant activity testing in fresh Hanuman Prasan Kai leaves (IC50 = 423.18 ± 15.73 µg/mL) and dried leaves (IC50 = 456.37 ± 27.52 µg/mL) showed comparable values. 2) The guidelines for promoting the use of Hanuman Prasan Kai herb to supplement asthma treatment in the community consist of three parts:
1) knowledge and understanding about Hanuman Prasan Kai herb, 2) promoting knowledge on cultivating Hanuman Prasan Kai herb in the community, and 3) promoting knowledge on using either fresh or dried leaves of Hanuman Prasan Kai to support asthma treatment in the community.
