Abstract
Background: Common problems experienced by patients with hypertension can lead to decreased cardiac output, pain, anxiety, and various complications. Therefore, a new patient-centered strategy is needed to support individuals in managing their condition. Central blood pressure has gained attention in the management of hypertension. Acupressure stimulation can activate mast cells to release histamine, a vasodilation mediator, thereby increasing blood circulation, promoting body relaxation, and ultimately lowering blood pressure. This activity aimed to enable the community to perform acupressure therapy independently at home. Method: The intervention included health education through lectures and demonstrations of acupressure therapy techniques. Results: After the intervention, there was a reduction in both systolic and diastolic blood pressure ranging from 10 to 25 mmHg. Discussion: This activity demonstrated that acupressure therapy may be effective in reducing blood pressure.
