Hypertension is one of the most important causes of early
death because it is closely related to the risk of cardiovascular
disease. The prevalence of hypertension continues to increase
with lifestyle changes. Non-pharmacological management is an
alternative in the treatment of hypertension, one of which is
complementary therapy by consuming herbal ingredients. The
purpose of this study was to determine the effect of noni extract
on reducing blood pressure in male Wistar experimental-rats.
The research design used was pre experimental design.
One group pre-test post test design with purposive sampling
technique. Number of samples were 16 male Wistar
experimental-rats . The instrument in this study was the
observation sheet and blood pressure measurement for taicap
blod pressure. Statistical test analysis using Wilcoxon test.
The results showed blood pressure before being given
noni extract, cystolic pressure 150.93 mmHg, diastole pressure
112.87 mmHg. After administration of noni extract average
blood pressure systole: 110,625 mmHg, diastole blood pressure
average 85,125 mmHg Wilcoxon statistical test results showed
that p = 0,000 <a = 0.05 showed a decrease in blood pressure
before and after giving of noni extract
The conclusion from the study showed that there was an
effect of noni extract on reducing blood pressure in
hypertensive male Wistar experimental-mouse. Development of
natural ingredients in the management of non-pharmacological
hypertension needs to be done at the dose and effectiveness.
