Abstract

Hypertension is widespread and constitutes a primary cause of mortality worldwide. Hypertension is a degenerative disease caused by uncontrolled lifestyle choices that lead to health problems and death. Age is a risk factor for hypertension and is common in older adults, due to decreased tissue elasticity and thickening, which ultimately increases cardiac output. The objective is to assess the efficacy of a blend of sambiloto, turmeric, and kencur herbal tea on the blood pressure of elderly people. This method was applied using an observational approach by measuring the blood pressure of 9 elderly respondents and residents of Cigugur Girang RW. 04 Village before and after consuming herbal tea containing extracts of sambiloto, turmeric, and kencur. Blood pressure measurements were taken using an aneroid sphygmomanometer after the respondents had rested to ensure they were relaxed. The data were recorded and analyzed descriptively to observe changes in blood pressure individually and in groups. The findings were analyzed to evaluate the efficacy of the herbal tea in lowering blood pressure as a preventive measure and treatment for hypertension. The assessment also considered various other aspects which could influence the outcomes, such as health status, eating habits, level of physical activity, and consistency in consuming herbal tea. This activity was part of a series of KKNT programs aimed at empowering the community through the use of natural ingredients.

Abstract

Hypertension, one of the non-communicable diseases that is often undetected in its early stages, is one of the main causes of the increase in morbidity and mortality rates in society. This is due to the lack of public awareness regarding regular blood pressure checks and the implementation of a healthy lifestyle. The aim of this community service activity is to increase public knowledge and awareness about the importance of recognising, preventing, and controlling hypertension through health education for the community. The method of the activity was carried out with a participatory approach through health counselling, distribution of educational media, and interactive conversations with the community. The results of the activity show that the community has a better understanding of the risk factors for hypertension and the importance of a healthy lifestyle to prevent hypertension. During the event, the community was very enthusiastic. This activity shows that health education can directly increase public awareness about the prevention and control of hypertension. This is expected to reduce the risk of non-communicable disease complications in the community.
