Abstract

Hypertension is a common health problem among older adults and requires continuous blood pressure control. Celery (Apium graveolens L.) has potential as a complementary therapy to help reduce blood pressure. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of celery leaf juice and celery leaf decoction on blood pressure among older adults with hypertension. A quasi-experimental study with a pretest-posttest two-group design was conducted. Systolic and diastolic blood pressure were measured before and after the interventions. The results showed a reduction in blood pressure after both celery juice and celery decoction interventions, with a greater reduction observed in the juice group. In conclusion, celery juice and celery leaf decoction have potential as complementary therapies to support blood pressure control among older adults with hypertension.
