Abstract

The high incidence of hypertension in the elderly and uncontrolled triggers degenerative diseases such as congestive heart failure, kidney failure, and vascular disease such as stroke and peripheral arterial disease. The high incidence of hypertension is directly proportional to the high complications that occur, so adequate nonpharmacologic treatment is needed. Celery (Apium graveolens L.) is one of the types of herbal therapy used to treat hypertension. Traditional Chinese society has long used celery to lower blood pressure. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of celery leaf decoction on elderly blood pressure in patients with hypertension in the Mambi Health Center, Mamasa District. His research method is a quasi-experimental method, using a time-series research design. This study took a sample of 20 people. The sampling techniques were consecutive sampling, and the measuring instruments used were observation sheets and spigmanometers. Analyzed by the Friedman test with a significance level of alpha = 0.05. The results of the study obtained statistical tests showing that there were significant differences by comparing systolic blood pressure before, 3 days of administration and 7 days of administration of celery leaves, obtaining a mean value which decreased from the first day, the third day and the days of 2.75, 2.23 and 1.03 with a value of 0.000 <0.05, as well as Diastolic blood pressure, respectively, 2.75, 1.98 and 1.30 with p value of 0.000 <0.05, which means there is an effect of giving celery leaf decoction to reduce systolic and diastolic blood pressure

Abstract

Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by persistent hyperglycemia due to impaired insulin secretion or insulin resistance. In addition to pharmacological therapy, complementary treatments derived from natural products are increasingly explored to support glycemic control. Bitter melon (Momordica charantia L.) contains bioactive compounds with potential hypoglycemic effects. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of bitter melon juice on blood glucose levels among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus in Madatte Village, Polewali District. A quasi-experimental study with a pre-test and post-test time-series design was conducted. Fifteen patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus were selected using consecutive sampling and received 200 grams of freshly prepared bitter melon juice once daily. Blood glucose levels were measured at baseline, after 3 days, and after 7 days of intervention using a glucometer. Data were analyzed using the Friedman test. The results demonstrated a gradual reduction in mean blood glucose levels from 194.60 mg/dL at baseline to 191.93 mg/dL after 3 days and 184.80 mg/dL after 7 days. Statistical analysis showed a significant difference in blood glucose levels across the measurement periods (p = 0.01; p < 0.05). In conclusion, daily consumption of bitter melon juice was associated with a significant reduction in blood glucose levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, with a more pronounced effect observed after seven days of intervention. Bitter melon juice may be considered a complementary approach for glycemic control.
