Nausea and vomiting are complaints that are often experienced at the beginning of pregnancy and have the potential to interfere with the comfort and quality of life of pregnant women. One of the nonpharmacological efforts that can be applied to reduce these complaints is the use of blended lemon and lavender aromatherapy. However, the knowledge and skills of the community, including Posyandu cadres regarding the use of aromatherapy as complementary therapy, are still limited. So, it is necessary to provide education about this. This community service activity aims to increase the capacity of Posyandu cadres through education on the handling of nausea and vomiting in pregnancy as well as training on making blended aromatherapy candles made from lemon and lavender essential oils. The activity was carried out at the Bina Mulya Sejahtera Posyandu, Semarang City, in collaboration with partners, namely the Chairman of the Bina Mulya Posyandu Cadre and involved 19 Posyandu cadres. The service was carried out in two stages, namely on October 11 and November 8, 2025. The methods applied include counseling, interactive discussions, demonstrations, aromatherapy candle making practices, and evaluation using pre-test and post-test. The results of the evaluation showed that there was an increase in cadres' knowledge about nausea and vomiting in pregnancy and its treatment with an average of 83% after participating in the activity. In addition, all participants were able to practice making aromatherapy blended candles independently according to the stages that had been demonstrated. The enthusiasm of the participants during counseling and practice also shows the high acceptance of the innovations provided. This service activity has proven to be effective in improving the knowledge and skills of Posyandu cadres so that it is expected to be able to support the role of cadres as health educators and encourage the use of aromatherapy based on natural ingredients as complementary therapy for pregnant women who experience nausea and vomiting.
