“…Meanwhile, there was a difference in pulse frequency from week 2 to 6. These results are consistent with previous research that found a significant difference in systolic blood pressure values between the intervention and control groups after 2 weeks of follow-up [12]. Another Chinese research stated wet cupping lowers blood pressure at the 4 th week after therapy [13].…”

Wet cupping therapy removes toxins thereby increasing blood flow and stimulating baroreceptors sensitivity which provides a stimulus to the autonomic nerves. This stimulus reduces the sympathetic nerves’ work and inhibits the vasomotor center, leading to vasodilation, therefore decreasing blood pressure and pulse frequency. This research aims to determine the effect of wet cupping therapy on baroreceptors sensitivity with blood pressure and pulse frequency indicators. It was conducted in Sidenreng Rappang Regency, South Sulawesi, eastern Indonesia from February to May 2021. Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) method was used including two groups of 31 respondents each. The intervention group used wet cupping therapy to regulate anti-hypertensive drugs and the control group used anti-hypertensive drugs with blood pressure and pulse frequency measurements until 6 weeks after the therapy. Wet cupping affects baroreceptor sensitivity by reducing the indicators. The result showed a significant difference in blood pressure measurement (systolic; diastolic) before and after the 2-week follow-up period (P = 0.000; P = 0.001), and between 2 and 4 weeks (P = 0.000; P = 0.000), but between 4 and 6 weeks there was no significant difference in the intervention group (P = 0.248; P = 0.583). There was a significant difference in pulse frequency at 2 and 4 weeks after the intervention (P = 0.016). In conclusion, wet cupping therapy effectively increases baroreceptor sensitivity by reducing blood pressure and pulse frequency indicators in hypertensive patients up to 4 weeks limit after the therapy, without any serious side effects experienced by respondents.

“…It is undeniable that people in Indonesia not only believe in conventional medicine (Ritonga et al, 2017) but also in shaman for the medication (Sherliawati, 2014). It is in line with a study in rural Yogyakarta, Indonesia, which also found that the patients with hypertension tend to have the preference to manage hypertension on their own, especially to use traditional or alternative medicines and herbs, such as cucumber, avocado leaves (Rahmawati & Bajorek, 2018), aloe vera (Yuliawati et al, 2021, celery leaves (Isnainy et al, 2021), cupping therapy (Darmawan et al, 2017), acupuncture (Hidayah et al, 2021), and others to replace the prescribed medication. Therefore, during the assessment of patients with hypertension, nurses need to ask whether the patients use traditional medicine or combine it with the prescribed drugs before visiting public health centers to improve shared understanding and decision-making.…”

Background: The Government of Indonesia has provided a Chronic Disease Management Program, better known as PROLANIS, to reduce the incidence of hypertension; however, the prevalence of hypertension remains high in the community, especially in Belitung, Indonesia, which warrants further investigation. One of the strategies to decrease the number of hypertensions is by addressing barriers and challenges in hypertension management according to patients’ points of view, which has become a lack of focus in previous studies.Purpose: This study aimed to explore the barriers and challenges of patients in managing hypertension in Belitung, Indonesia.Methods: This research employed a qualitative descriptive study design with 20 hypertensive patients who had access to the PROLANIS program in public health centers. Focus group discussions were conducted for data collection. The content analysis was used for data analysis.Results: Six themes were developed from the data, including (1) Dietary habits: the role of salt, (2) Nonadherence to medication due to the use of traditional medicine, (3) Shopping habit on nonprescription medication, (4) Confusion of anti-hypertensive drugs, (5) Barriers to physical exercise, and (6) Health monitoring and education.Conclusion: This study serves as an input for nurses and healthcare providers to improve the PROLANIS program, especially in hypertension management, as well as to develop new nursing interventions according to the barriers and challenges.

“…In the study (Mukhlis et al, 2020) Cupping was performed at the top of the head and neck with an average decrease in blood pressure of 19.6 mmHg in SBP and 11.2 mmHg in DBP. In a study conducted by (Darmawan et al, 2017) cupping in hypertension patients with a total of 36 samples was carried out at the midline point between the two shoulders (Alkahil) there was a decrease in SBP blood pressure of 3.28 mmHg and 2.89 mmHg in DBP, Likewise research conducted by (Rahman et al, 2020) cupping was carried out at the midline point between the two shoulders in 100 samples with 50 women and 50 men, there was a decrease in blood pressure of 12 mmHg in women and 9 mmHg in men. man.…”

Hypertension is a non-communicable disease that is the cause of premature death in the world. The diagnosis of hypertension is made when the systolic blood pressure is 140 mmHg and/or diastolic is 90 mmHg. Patients with hypertension are quite high, in the world there are 22% of the population, in Indonesia there are 63,309,620 people with hypertension. However, many people with hypertension are not obedient in its management. People prefer alternative medicine for reasons of affordable cost, not using chemicals, and the healing effect is quite significant. The purpose of this study was to identify the benefits of cupping, types of effective cupping and effective cupping points and the level of effectiveness of cupping therapy in reducing blood pressure in patients with hypertension. This study uses a descriptive-qualitative approach with a literature study method, literature search and selection using PICOST which is then analyzed by Compare and Synthesize. The results of the analysis stated that cupping was effective for reducing blood pressure in patients with hypertension, ranging from 12 -28.57 mmHg in SBP and in DBP decreased by 2.89-14.4 mmHg. The type of cupping that is effective is wet cupping at the top of the head and neck because this cupping goes through a detoxification mechanism at the point where there is a pathway that goes directly to the deepest part of the brain and is covered with blood vessels. Cupping is effective in lowering blood pressure in patients with hypertension, with the type and point of effective cupping being wet cupping at the top of the head and neck. Cupping needs to be made one of the compulsory subjects of the nursing science study program, so that in the future complementary therapy can be further enhanced in its promotion and application in cases of hypertension. It is also necessary to conduct further research regarding the effective duration of cupping to reduce blood pressure in hypertensive patients.
