BIOMASSAGE TECHNIQUE WITH BIOSTEAK OIL IS EFFECTIVE IN REDUCING BLOOD PRESSURE IN HYPERTENSION IN THE TOURIST COMMUNITY OF BALI PROVINCE IN 202

Abstract

ABSTRACT: The main health problem in the tourism community is hypertension because the lifestyle of the tourism community is high cholesterol food and high activity which causes fatigue. This causes atherosclerosis and damaged blood vessels. Conventionally, hypertension is treated with antihypertensive drugs which are only for control purposes, so the medication must be taken continuously. Therefore, another complementary method is needed: biomassage using biosteak oil, which has been phytochemically tested in vivo and has been found to have strong anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antioxidant properties, thus preventing heart disease, kidney failure, and stroke. The aim of this study was to determine whether biomass using a biosteak oil device is effective in lowering blood pressure in tourism communities experiencing hypertension. This study used a quasi-experimental method with a pretest-posttest control group design. The variables studied in this study were blood pressure in hypertensive patients as the dependent variable and biomass using biosteak oil and biosteak cupping oil as the independent variables. A sample of 120 people using purposeful sampling technique was divided into three groups: two experimental groups and one control group. Data analysis techniques included univariate analysis, normality test, Wilcoxon test, and Kruskal-Wallis test. Based on the analysis of the results with a Sig. value (2-tailed: 0.00 or < 0.05 with a rank difference in systole of 23 mmHg, meaning there was a significant difference before and after treatment in all groups. It was concluded that there was a significant difference before and after the Bio Massage procedure with bio steak oil in the tourism community who experienced hypertension.
