Abstract

Hypertension is a major global health problem, affecting approximately 1.28 billion people worldwide (WHO, 2024). In Indonesia, the prevalence of hypertension reached 34.1% in 2023, indicating a significant public health concern. At Pasar Ikan Health Center in Bengkulu City, hypertension cases have shown a marked increase, rising from 1,193 cases in 2020 to 2,307 cases in 2024. If left uncontrolled, hypertension can result in severe complications, including stroke, heart failure, and other cardiovascular diseases. Non-pharmacological interventions, such as the administration of green grass jelly, have been explored as complementary therapies to help manage blood pressure naturally. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of green grass jelly in reducing blood pressure among hypertensive patients in the working area of Pasar Ikan Health Center, Bengkulu City, in 2025. A descriptive case study was conducted on one hypertensive patient who received 100 grams of green grass jelly daily for seven consecutive days. The patient’s blood pressure decreased from 140/90 mmHg before the intervention to 134/80 mmHg on the seventh day, indicating a positive response. These results suggest that green grass jelly is effective in helping to stabilize blood pressure. Therefore, it can be considered a safe, natural, and accessible complementary therapy for managing hypertension”

Abstract

Hypertension is a non-communicable disease often called a silent killer because it can cause serious complications and even sudden death. According to WHO data from 2022, there are 1.28 billion adults with hypertension, and this number is predicted to increase to 1.5 billion by 2025.

The method used is a descriptive case study on a 47-year-old female patient with stage 1 hypertension. The intervention was given for six consecutive days, with a duration of 15 minutes per session. The results showed a decrease in average systolic blood pressure of 7.1 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure of 3.6 mmHg, as well as a decrease in headache complaints from a scale of 4 to 2. Conclusion: progressive muscle relaxation therapy is effective in helping to reduce blood pressure in hypertensive patients, so it can be an alternative non-pharmacological intervention in health services.
