Hypertension can be treated by administering medical (pharmacological) and non-pharmacological drugs. One of the non-pharmacological treatments is using cucumber juice. Cucumbers are diuretic because of their high water content, which helps lower blood pressure. The aim of this research is to determine the effectiveness of giving cucumber juice on blood pressure in hypertensive patients at the Duha Medika Center Lampung Clinic in 2024. This research design uses a quasi-experimental design with a one group pre test - post test design without control group.
