Hypertension is one of the biggest problems that cause death because many are undiagnosed and hypertensive sufferers often experience asymptomatic events causing difficulty to know the causes of hypertension. Treatment of hypertension can perform by pharmacology and non-pharmacology. Non-pharmacological treatment may be in the form of aromatherapy. This study aimed to determine the effect of aqueous aromatherapy on the decrease of blood pressure in hypertensive patients at Royal Prima Hospital Medan in 2017. The study design was quasi-experiment with one group pretest-postest design provided with aromatherapy for 10 minutes. The population consisted of 28 people. The 10 people as sampling were drawn by a purposive sampling technique. Data collection was performed by interview and observation. The bivariate analysis used was paired sample t-test with a significance level of 0.05 (5%). The results showed that the level of systolic and diastolic blood pressure before aromatherapy aqueous treatment was 156.60 mmHg and 92.40 mmHg. Systolic and diastolic blood pressure after aqueous aromatherapy administration was 142.60 mmHg and 81.80 mmHg. Based on the results of statistical tests it was found that there was a difference in blood pressure between before and after aromatherapy, {systolic, p-value = 0.000 (p <0.05) and diastolic, p-value = 0.000 (p <0.05)}. The results of this study concluded that there is an effect of giving aqueous aromatherapy (Kananga odorata) on the decrease of blood pressure in hypertension patients at Royal Prima Hospital Medan in 2017. It is suggested that aqueous aromatherapy can be applied as an alternative therapy to lower blood pressure.

Stunting is a chronic nutritional problem in toddlers characterized by a shorter height compared to other children of their age. Children who suffer from Stunting will be more susceptible to disease and as adults are at risk for degenerative diseases. Health counseling is held to increase the knowledge, awareness, willingness, and ability of mothers to continue to provide good nutrition during pregnancy. Knowledge of feeding is from pregnancy to prevent Stunting. Research that focuses on intention, motivation, and knowledge is not sufficient to help mothers overcome obstacles during pregnancy. Besides getting counseling, mothers overcome obstacles during pregnancy. In addition to getting maternal counseling, it requires support, education, and information that is consistent, realistic, and evidence-based to successfully improve nutrition during pregnancy. The goal is to find out the effectiveness of health education on Stunting prevention at the Mariana Clinic. The research will be conducted using a Quasi-Experiment design (quasi-experimental), with the target that pregnant women are given counseling. The methods of data collection are using questionnaires, interviews, and observations. The data analysis method used the dependent t-test, namely the Wilcoxon test. In the paired group, the same subjects were examined before and after the intervention (before and after design) of the questionnaire as a research instrument. The test used is the Wilcoxon test. The results study based on the Wilcoxon test, it was found that the p-value (<0.05) statistically showed that there was the effectiveness of health education on the prevention of Stunting in pregnant women at the Mariana clinic (p-value = 0.002).
