Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of consuming bitter melon juice on blood pressure in hypertensive patients in Jagamukti Village, Surade Health Center's working area. Hypertension is a non-communicable disease with a high prevalence that requires serious attention. This study used a quasi-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest design, involving 15 respondents selected using cluster sampling. Data were analyzed using parametric statistical tests with a T-test. The results showed that the average systolic blood pressure before the intervention was 151 mmHg, while after the intervention, it decreased to 145 mmHg. Statistically, there was a significant difference with a p-value of 0.000 (<0.05), indicating that bitter melon juice is effective in lowering blood pressure in hypertensive patients. Most respondents were female (60%) aged 46–55 years (66.7%), and the majority worked as housewives (60%). Bitter melon, rich in potassium and possessing diuretic effects, effectively lowers sodium levels in the blood, helping to reduce blood pressure. This study reinforces the potential of bitter melon as a safe and natural non-pharmacological intervention for hypertension. These findings are expected to encourage the use of herbal plants in the management of hypertension.
