garlic, known as herbs that have anti-hypertensive effects

Effects antivasospastik garlic can reduce the spasm of the small arteries and prevent the formation and
development of blood clots
Garlic has active compounds that are known to affect the availability of ions for vascular smooth
muscle contraction
The use of traditional medicine is generally considered safer than the use
of modern medicine. This
is due to traditional medicines have side effects
relatively less than modern medicine
garlic can reduce the activity of angiotensin-coverting enzyme (ACE). This is the mechanism by
which the ACE inhibitor drugs play a role in lowering blood pressure by drinking a glass of water
steeping garlic regularly every morning for 7 days

Purpose of our research

determine

the effectiveness of the provision of water infusion of garlic

on blood pressure reduction in hypertensive elderly in the district of
Padang Nanggalo. Because in these areas the degree of hypertension that
affects about 2,497 cases (two thousend four hundred ninety seven )

Significant
1.

2.

for hypertension have no complaints and signs of the typical

symptoms
because people often ignore hypertension because symptoms are less
meaningful

3.

the increasing elderly population, the number of patients with

hypertension will likely grow

Problem
1.

2.

3.

Hypertension is a leading cause of death number 3 after a stroke and

tuberculosis
Hypertension is often considered a normal condition in the elderly
and the elderly. the fact that hypertension is very dangerous and lead
people died of hypertension and its complications
In Indonesia, the number of hypertensive patients reached 17-21% of
that amount 60% of hypertensive patients at stroke ends.

 Participant

/ respondent

The population numbered 70 people and a sample of 15

elderly hypertensive
Setting

Nanggalo in the district of Padang. This research was

conducted in elderly
Posyandu RW 01 Sub Surau Tower
is dated February 19 to 26, 2014..

Method
This study begins with a pre-test to measure the blood pressure of each elderly hypertension in
the morning at 08.00 am every morning for 7 days. After measuring blood pressure given garlic
steeping water (200 cc) to elderly hypertensive 1 day every 8 hours after the respondent
stomach fills with food or breakfast for 7 consecutive days.
after days first in Posyandu, 2-7 days to researchers provide water steeping garlic (200cc) to
elderly hypertensive 1x per day each 8 hours after the respondent stomach fills with food or
breakfast for 7 days successively with visits house to house each senior hypertension (door to
door).
Then do posttest on day 8 visit to re-measure the blood pressure of each elderly hypertensive,
after it recorded in the observation sheet. Data Measurement of blood pressure before and
after administration of garlic steeping water will be processed and analyzed using dependent
test.

Tull of the data collecting:

This research uses quasy Experiment with one group pretest
posttest design, before being given water steeping garlic
first performed a pretest (measurement of blood pressure
before) and then after treatment (administration of steeping
garlic) then performed again posttest
(Measurement of blood pressure after) to detect changes in
blood pressure after treatment of the elderly.

The step of conducting the research

1. Garlic 2 eggs
2. One glass of warm water
3. Garlic peeled and finely ground
4. Put into a glass of warm water and drink the water

How to analyst the records:

garlic The steeping water provided to the respondent 1 day
every 8 hours after the respondent stomach fills with food or
breakfast for 7 consecutive days.

Finding
1.

Based on the research that has been conducted by researchers showed a decrease in
blood pressure after the administration garlic infusion for 7 consecutive days, a
reduction in systolic and diastolic blood pressure by 6-10 mmHg and 6-9 mmHg diastolic
pressure

2.

In accordance with the results obtained during the 7-day researchers that almost all
patients with systolic and diastolic blood pressure dropped by 10 mmHg and 10 mmHg
diastolic blood pressure decreased during the post-test on the eighth day.

3.

The content of substances alisin and hydrogen sulfide in garlic have a proper effect of
high blood pressure medication, which dilates blood vessels and makes blood vessels
are not rigid, so the blood pressure will go down. Additionally, Garlic is also very
effective lowering high cholesterol in the blood. By eating garlic can prevent
atherosclerosis, which can lead to stroke and heart attack.

1.

Disscution
From the research that has been conducted in Posyandu Elderly RW 01 Sub Surau Tower District of Nanggalo Padang high blood
pressure in elderly Posyandu RW 01 is influenced by factors of age and results from the study conducted by researchers
vulnerability of hypertension occurs in the elderly is due to more parents someone's age the likelihood of someone
greater suffering from hypertension, due to loss of elasticity of the vascular tissue
Blood and arterisklerosis due to the aging process, as well as their vessel dilation
the blood that occurs in the elderly.

4.

The occurrence of high blood pressure in the elderly, also affected the intake of excessive salt, because salt is very important
for the mechanism of the onset of hypertension. The influence of salt intake to hypertension is through elevated plasma or body
fluids and blood pressure. The higher the intake of salt in the blood, it will cause the viscosity of the blood, causing increased
blood volume, so that the occurrence of hypertension.
Based on an analysis of researchers garlic can lower blood pressure
because garlic contains substances alisin and hydrogen sulfide. The agent should have the effect of high blood pressure
medication, which dilates blood vessels and makes blood vessels are not rigid, so the blood pressure will go down.
Mechanism of action of garlic in lowering blood pressure associated with vasodilation of blood vessels that lead to the closing of
the canal and the opening of the canal, causing hyperpolarization. Thus, the muscles will experience relaxation. The high
concentration of intracellular ions cause vasoconstriction which have an impact on the condition of hypertension. The active
compound in garlic is thought to inhibit the influx of ions into the cell. Thus, there will be a decrease in intracellular ion
concentration and muscle relaxation followed. This can lead to widening of the rooms in the blood vessels, so blood pressure
drops.

Conclution
From the results obtained from research on the effectiveness ofMinfusion of garlic on
blood pressure reduction in elderly patients with hypertension in the elderly Posyandu
RW 01 Sub Surau Tower District of Padang 2014 Nanggalo can be deduced that there
are significant differences in systolic and diastolic blood pressure after given before
the infusion of garlic in elderly hypertension where blood pressure of elderly
hypertensive experiencing significant difference in systolic blood pressure by 10
mmHg
and diastolic blood pressure of 10 mmHg from earlier in Posyandu RW 01 Sub
Surau
Tower District of Padang Nanggalo 2014.

Suggestion
It is expected that the cadres and the elderly with hypertension in posyandu order to
apply the making of steeping garlic for hypertension to consume every morning for 7
days in a row.
