Hypertension is a chronic medical condition in which the blood pressure in the arteries increases and can lead to heart disease and deadly strokes. One of the non-pharmacological therapies currently being developed to reduce high blood pressure is to consume herbal plants. The herbal plant used is the Moringa tree (Moringa Oleifera). The purpose of this literature review is to explain the effectiveness of the consumption of Moringa plants as an antihypertensive. The researched method used a literature studied approached with journals as sources. Searched of researched articles across multiple databases used keywords over a five year period. The results of the studied, consumption of Moringa Oleifera could affect the reduction of high blood pressure. This was due to various phytochemical compounds, bioactive compounds, polar compounds, vitamin C, potassium (K), magnesium (Mg), and calcium (Ca). Thus, Moringa Oleifera could provided the desired effect as a natural high blood pressure controlled drug and could been said as an alternative medicine. Moringa Oleifera could been combined with other herbal plants and medical drugs in controlling high blood pressure.

Abstract

Abstract: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a chronic disease with a continuously increasing prevalence both globally and nationally. Patients with DM who undergo insulin therapy often face various challenges—physical, psychological, and social—that may affect their quality of life. This study aims to describe the quality of life of patients with DM who use insulin.This study employed a descriptive qualitative design with a total of 108 respondents. The respondents’ characteristics included age, educational level, duration of illness, and gender. Quality of life was measured based on physical, psychological, and social dimensions.The results showed that the majority of respondents were aged 19–59 years (76.9%), had a senior high school education (39.8%), had been diagnosed with DM for less than one year (56.5%), and were female (74.1%). Most respondents had a moderate quality of life (97.2%), while only 2.8% had a good quality of life.These findings indicate that although insulin therapy is the primary treatment in DM management, patients’ quality of life remains suboptimal. Factors such as productive age, early stage of the disease, and female predominance contribute to this condition. In addition, psychological aspects such as diabetes-related distress and social limitations also influence patients’ quality of life. In conclusion, the quality of life of patients with DM using insulin is influenced by the interaction of biological, psychological, and social factors. Therefore, comprehensive and holistic nursing interventions are required, including self-management education, psychological support, and strengthening family support to improve patients’ quality of life.
