Abstract

Hypertension is one of the most common health problems experienced by the elderly and is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in Indonesia. The use of natural ingredients as a supportive therapy is an effective and safe option. Star fruit (Averrhoa carambola) contains potassium, fiber, vitamin C, and antioxidants that function to help lower blood pressure through vasodilation and increased sodium excretion. This activity aims to increase the knowledge and skills of the elderly community and health cadres regarding the benefits and how to make star fruit juice as a non-pharmacological therapy to lower blood pressure in elderly with hypertension. The activity was carried out through socialization and direct demonstrations to 25 elderly participants with hypertension in the work area of ​​the Munjul Jaya Community Health Center (UPTD), Purwakarta. Evaluation was carried out through pre- and post-tests of knowledge, as well as blood pressure observations before and after drinking star fruit juice for 5 consecutive days. There was an increase in the average knowledge score of participants from 65% to 92% after the socialization. The average blood pressure of the elderly also decreased from 157/92 mmHg to 139/84 mmHg after regularly consuming starfruit juice. Participants stated that starfruit juice is easy to make, delicious, and has no side effects. The promotion of starfruit juice therapy effectively increased public awareness and helped lower blood pressure in the elderly. This activity can be used as a model for promotive and preventive interventions in hypertension control at the primary care level

Abstract

Hypertension is a degenerative disease often experienced by the elderly and is a major risk factor for heart disease and stroke. Non-pharmacological treatment efforts with herbal therapy are starting to be widely developed, one of which uses celery leaves (Apium graveolens L.) which have a natural diuretic effect, and honey which contains high antioxidants that can help lower blood pressure. The combination of the two is believed to provide a synergistic effect in lowering blood pressure in the elderly. This community service activity aims to improve the knowledge and skills of the community and cadres at the UPTD PKM Bojong, Purwakarta Regency in carrying out non-pharmacological therapy, applying a combination therapy of celery leaf decoction and honey in lowering blood pressure in the elderly in the work area of ​​​​the UPTD PKM Bojong, Purwakarta Regency. The method of implementation of the activity uses a lecture approach, demonstration, and simulation. The activity participants were 40 people consisting of the general public and health cadres. Evaluation was carried out using a pre-test and post-test to assess the increase in knowledge, as well as observation of skills during the simulation practice. The combination therapy of celery leaf decoction and honey is effective in lowering blood pressure in the elderly with hypertension. This therapy can be used as a non-pharmacological alternative that is easy, safe, and economical to control blood pressure in the elderly
