In an effort to reduce the prevalence of hypertension, hypertension is treated with two types of therapy, namely pharmacological therapy and non-pharmacological therapy (Mulyati et al., 2013). Non-pharmacological therapy is divided into several approaches including: with ingredients (aromatherapy, sinshe), spiritual and supernatural approaches (meditation, yoga, reiki) and with skills (reflection massage) (Wahyuningsih & Astuti, 2013).
