Hipertensi seringkali disebut sebagai pembunuh gelap (silent killer), karena termasuk penyakit yang mematikan, tanpa disertai dengan gejala-gejalanya lebih dahulu sebagai peringatan bagi korbannya. Prinsip pengobatan hipertensi adalah emngkondisikan terjadinya penurunan tekanan darah dengan ramuan tanaman obat yang memiliki efek-efek diuretik, antiandrenergik, simpatikolitik dan memperlancaer tekanan darah. Buah belimbing manis (Averrhoa carambola L) sangat bermanfaat dalam membantu menurunkan tekanan darah karena kandungan serat, kalium, fosfor, dan vitamin. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh terapi jus belimbing dan madu terhadap tekanan darah lansia dengan hipertensi. Desain penelitian quasi-eksperimen dengan rancangan one group pretest posttest. Penelitian dilakukan di Jorong Kotanopan Setia pada tanggal 16 22 Desember 2018. Populasi adalah semua lansia penderita hipertensi di Jorong Kotanopan Setia berjumlah 60 orang. Pengambilan sampel dilakukan secara purposive sampling sebanyak 10 orang. Data di kumpulkan dengan menggunakan lembaran observasi, kemudian diolah dan dianalisa menggunakan uji t-dependen. Hasil analisa univariat didapatkan rata-rata tekanan darah sistolik sebelum diberikan terapi jus belimbing dan madu adalah 127,2 mmHg dan tekanan darah diastolik 87,6 mmHg. Sesudah intervensi didapatkan rata-rata tekanan darah sistolik 122,35 mmHg dan tekanan darah diastolik 84,8 mmHg. Hasil bivariat ada pengaruh terapi jus belimbing dan madu terhadap tekanan darah lansia dengan hipertensi pada penderita hipertensi (p = 0,005) Disimpulkan bahwa terapi jus belimbing dan madu berpengaruh terhadap tekanan darah lansia dengan hipertensi. Diharapkan pada petugas kesehatan agar memberikan penyuluhan tentang upaya non farmakologis untuk penanganan hipertensi melalui terapi buah-buahan khususnya belimbing dan madu.

Hypertension is referred as the silent killer. It is because as one of deadly disease without symptoms as a warning to the victim. The principle of treating hypertension is to decrease blood pressure by using herbs which have diuretic, antiandrenergic, sympathololytic. Sweet star fruit (Averrhoa carambola L) is useful to lower blood pressure due to the content of fiber, potassium, phosphorus and vitamins.

This was Quasi-experimental research with one group pretest posttest. It was conducted on 16 22 December 2018 in Kotanopan Setia. The populations were all elderly people with hypertension. They were 60 people. Then, by using purposive sampling, 10 people had been chosen as the samples. The data were collected by observation sheets and it was processed by t-dependent test. The results of univariate analysis showed that the average systolic blood pressure before being given star fruit juice therapy and honey was 127.2 mmHg and the diastolic blood pressure was 87.6 mmHg. After the intervention, the average systolic blood pressure was 122.35 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure was 84.8 mmHg. Moreover, Bivariate results inferred that there was an effect of star fruit juice and honey on the blood pressure of elderly people with hypertension (p = 0.005) In short, it can be concluded that star fruit juice and honey affected to decrease blood pressure. Then, it is expected that health workers provide counseling about non-pharmacological efforts to treat hypertension through fruit therapy, especially star fruit and honey.
