Abstract

Wrinkles on the face are one of the processes of aging factors. The thinning of the collagen and elastin layers on the skin causes facial wrinkles. The wrinkles are due to a lack of thickness of the dermis layer of as much as 20%, which is associated with the loss of elastin and collagen fibers. This study uses the pre-experimental design with the pretest-posttest control group design method. The research was conducted from October 2018 to April 2019 in Dangkrang Environment, Purwantoro, Wonogiri. The study used a sample of 40 subjects meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria divided into two groups (n = 20). Group I was treated with point acupuncture therapy LI 4 (Hegu), LU 7 (Lieque), and face massage.The Mann-Whitney U Test statistics obtained a p-value of 0.001. The results showed significant differences in changes in the face area between the two groups. Point acupuncture therapy LI 4 (Hegu), LU 7 (Lieque), and facial massage are more effective in reducing the scale of wrinkles on the face in the Dangkrang, Purwantoro, Wonogiri surroundings.

Abstract

Hypertension is the second highest cause of death in Indonesia (25.8%) in outpatients. Acupuncture has been used to treat various diseases including hyperten­sion. The purpose of this study was to determine the acupuncture’s effect of PC6 and LV3 combined with YNSA Ypsilon HT and LV points in cases of essential hypertension (ICD 10: I10) grade I, II. The study was conducted in Ngargorejo, Ngemplak, Boyolali from October 2018 to March 2019 using a design (RCT) or randomized experiment with 33 sub­jects, divided into experimental groups (17 people) and control groups (16 people) with SRS  as a sampling technique. Mann-Whitney obtained p <0.05, which means that there was an acupuncture effect of PC6 and LV3 combined with YNSA Ypsilon HT and LV on blood pressure reduction. The systolic pressure was p <0.05 and the diastolic pressure was p> 0.05 in the control group. While the experimental group's systolic and diastolic pressures were p <0.05. It can conclude that PC6 and LV3 combined with YNSA Ypsilon HT and LV points had more effect on systolic and diastolic pressure reduction than sham acupuncture which only affected systolic pressure reduction with short-term effects.
