POTENCY WATER STEW OF AVERRHOA BILIMBI L FOR ANTIHYPERTENSIVE

Hypertension is often referred to as a "silent killer", because patients often do not feel any significant symptoms. Uncontrolled hypertension has an increased risk of severe health problems, but the patient is less concerned about taking the drug regularly. AVERRHOA BILIMBI L contains about 6 mg/kg total of volatile compounds also oxalate compounds; oils evaporated, phenol, flavonoid and pectin, amino acids, citric acid, phenolics, potassium ions.It plays a role in decreasing blood pressure. The research objective proved the effectiveness of AVERRHOA BILIMBI L against changes in hypertensive blood pressure. The research design was pre-experiment one group pre-posttest approach. Populationwas all of hypertension patient in Sumbergirang Village and Karang Tengah Village as many as 80 people. Sample was hypertension patient who fulfill criteria of 60 people, with purposive sampling. The independent variable was the provision of AVERRHOA BILIMBI L water stew and the dependent variable was the hypertension blood pressure change. The results showed significant changes in blood pressure, in which most respondents showed systole and diastolic results, in the category of mild hypertension (67% of respondents) and moderate (47% of respondents). The result of paired sample T-test statistic showed significant = 0,000, so water stew of AVERRHOA BILIMBI L effectively against the decrease of hypertension blood pressure. Potassium plays a role in enlarging the size of endothelial cells and increasing the production of nitric oxide that will trigger dilation reactions and vascular reactivation that will lower blood pressure.

Hypertension is a cardiovascular disease that has been linked to a number of public health issues. This is due to unhealthy lifestyles and cellular and tissue physiological function impairment. Hydrotherapy is a non-pharmacological intervention that can lower blood pressure. As long as the patient is taking antihypertensive medications, this therapy becomes complementary. This study aims to describe the use of hydrotherapy that lowers blood pressure in hypertensive patients. The research design used is a literature review of national and international indexed journals. The databases used include ProQuest, GALE, OneSearch, RAMA, SINTA, and Google Scholar by using keywords hydrotherapy, blood pressure, and hypertension. Inclusion criteria are the range of publication years is in 2016-2020. While the exclusion criteria is when the independent variable used is a combination therapy. Based on a review of ten articles, hydrotherapy affects lowering blood pressure, therefore this therapy can be used as an adjunct therapy to lower blood pressure. This occurs because warm water dilates blood vessels, lowering blood pressure.

Use of salt substitutes containing potassium chloride is a potential strategy to reduce sodium intake, increase potassium intake, and thereby lower blood pressure and prevent the adverse consequences of high blood pressure. In this review, we describe the rationale for using potassium-enriched salt substitutes, summarize current evidence on the benefits and risks of potassium-enriched salt substitutes and discuss the implications of using potassium-enriched salt substitutes as a strategy to lower blood pressure. A benefit of salt substitutes that contain potassium chloride is the expected reduction in dietary sodium intake at the population level because of reformulation of manufactured foods or replacement of sodium chloride added to food during home cooking or at the dining table. There is empirical evidence that replacement of sodium chloride with potassium-enriched salt substitutes lowers systolic and diastolic blood pressure (average net Δ [95% CI] in mm Hg: –5.58 [–7.08 to –4.09] and –2.88 [–3.93 to –1.83], respectively). The risks of potassium-enriched salt substitutes include a possible increased risk of hyperkalemia and its principal adverse consequences: arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death, especially in people with conditions that impair potassium excretion such as chronic kidney disease. There is insufficient evidence regarding the effects of potassium-enriched salt substitutes on the occurrence of hyperkalemia. There is a need for additional empirical research on the effect of increasing dietary potassium and potassium-enriched salt substitutes on serum potassium levels and the risk of hyperkalemia, as well as for robust estimation of the population-wide impact of replacing sodium chloride with potassium-enriched salt substitutes.

Carrot Extract

Hypertension is a condition of vasoconstriction of blood vessels caused by several factors such as age, gender and irregular eating patterns. The Chayote and carrot extract as non-pharmacological therapy can lower blood pressure because they contain high potassium. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the use of chayote and carrot extracts on blood pressure in the elderly who suffer from hypertension in Sasana Kartini, Tosaren Village. The research design used is Pre-Experimental Designs, the population is all elderly people with hypertension, which are 52 respondents, the number of samples that meet the inclusive criteria, as many as 19 respondents using purposive sampling. The independent variable in this study was the administration of chayote extract and the dependent variable was systolic and diastolic blood pressure, the instruments used for data collection research were sphygmomanometer and observation sheets. While the data processing uses the Paired Sample T-Test.

Vasodilator Drug

1. L6150 is a highly effective vasodilator which produces an acute reduction of blood pressure when administered intravenously. 2. This is due entirely to a decrease in total peripheral vascular resistance. 3. On oral administration it can effectively lower blood pressure in mild hypertension and is effective in combination with other hypotensive agents with different mechanisms of action.
