<![CDATA[ Introduction: Hypertension refers to a persistent increase in pressure in the arteries, with a systolic pressure of ≥ 130 mmHg and a diastolic pressure of ≥ 80 mmHg. This condition is a blood vessel disorder that restricts the flow of oxygen and nutrients to the body's tissues that need them. The WHO reports that 1.28 billion adults aged 30-79 worldwide suffer from hypertension, the majority of whom live in low- and middle-income countries. Hypertension is a leading cause of premature death worldwide. One method used to treat hypertension is by administering starfruit juice. Objective : The aim of this study was to implement of starfruit juice giving to lower blood pressure in families with hypertension. Method: The design of this study used quantitative research through a case study method approach. The number of research samples was 2 families aged 39-49 years in the family, where this research was conducted in the Kartini Pematang Siantar Health Center Work Area. Results: The results of the implementation of starfruit juice administration which was carried out for 3 days with a duration of 10-30 minutes. In family I, it shows the level of family knowledge related to the provision of starfruit juice with results before the action of 159/90mmHg and after the action the family experienced a decrease in blood pressure to 130/80mmHg and in family II, it shows the level of family knowledge related to the provision of starfruit juice with results before the action of 150/90mmHg and after the action the family experienced a decrease in blood pressure to 130/80mmHg Conclusion: Therapy of giving starfruit juice to hypertensive patients is effective in lowering blood pressure.
