Hypertension is a condition of increasing a person's blood pressure beyond normal limits, causing increased morbidity and mortality. Hypertension can be reduced by consuming cucumber which contains potassium which inhibits the release of renin so that there is an increase in sodium and water excretion. In addition, it can also be reduced by consuming honey which can prevent the formation of plaque attached to the walls of blood vessels so that it can eliminate bad cholesterol for the body. This study aimed to determine the effect of giving cucumber and honey water immersion on Elderly Hypertension. This study used a Quasy Experimental design with a Pretest and Posttest with Control Group design. Sampling using a simple random sampling technique. The sample in this study amounted to 30 elderly people using the paired sample t-test statistical test. The results showed that the average blood pressure of the intervention group before being given the cucumber and honey water immersion was 153.6/84 mmHg and after it was 148.3/82.1 mmHg. The average blood pressure of the control group before being given the cucumber and honey water immersion was 158.5/80.2 mmHg and after it was 163.5/80.2 mmHg with p = 0.000. In the results of the independent sample test the intervention group before being given therapy, namely Sig. (2-tailed) = 0.027, the control group before treatment was Sig. (2-tailed) = 0.045. While the test results of the intervention group after being given therapy are Sig. (2-tailed) = 0.124, the control group after being given therapy is Sig. (2-tailed) = 0.139. There is an effect of giving cucumber and honey water immersion therapy on changes in blood pressure in the elderly with hypertension. But there is no difference in the average blood pressure of the Hypertensive Elderly. It is expected that the elderly with hypertension can make cucumber and honey water immersion as an alternative therapy to reduce hypertension

Hypertension is an increase in systolic blood pressure of more than 140 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure of more than 90 mmHg in two measurements with an interval of five minutes in moderate rest. Hypertensive disease can attack at any age, including the elderly. The sweet carambola (Averrhoa Carambola linn) is one of the traditional antihypertensive drugs, because it contains high potassium which is useful as a diuretic, maintaining the stability of the body electrolyte through the sodium potassium pump, reducing the amount of water and salt in the body and loosening the blood vessels, this condition helps the pressure drop blood. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of giving sweet starfruit juice to blood pressure in the elderly in the village of Lemah Putih Kec. Brati Kab. Grobogan. This research design is quasi experiment design with the randomized pre-test post-test control group design. The sample size is 30 respondents. The results showed that based on statistic t dependent test showed p value of intervention group at blood pressure of systole sebebsar 0.03, and diastole was 0.014 (p <0,05) hence Ho was rejected which mean in intervention group there was influence of sweet starfruit juice to elderly blood pressure with hypertension.

Uncontrolled hypertension can lead to heart disease, kidney disease, and stroke. Hence, it needs therapy. There are complementary therapies that can reduce high blood pressure. Music provides a relaxing effect so that blood vessel dilates and blood pressure drops. Humor therapy can provide a relaxation response and decrease blood pressure. Prayer therapy has a positive effect on body physiology that can lower blood pressure. The purpose of this study was to identify the effect of combination of music, humor, and prayertherapy on blood pressure. This study used true experiment pre and post control group design. The number of samples in this study were 131 respondents with primary hypertension on the elderly in Banyumas Regency. The sampling technique used was simple random sampling. Wilcoxon was used to test the difference of blood pressure before and after the intervention in one group, while the difference test among groups employed Mann Whitney test. The result indicated that respondent’s hypertension is categorized into moderate. There is difference on the mean of blood pressure before and after SIKKOMODO therapy and combination of music, humor, and humor therapy. There is a significant difference in term of systolicblood pressure betweentreatment and control group, and there is no difference on the systolic blood pressure between the two groups.
