Objective: Determine the impact of cupping therapy to decrease numbers of
blood pressure in hypertensive patients at Healthy House Al-Hijaamah
Makassar, from December 2014 - January 2015. Method: This study used a
Pre-experiment with using design One Group Pre-Post Test Design in 35
respondents hypertension who meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data
collected by aneroid tension meter and observation sheet. Result: Univariate
test results showed the average systolic blood pressure before cupping
therapy 151.70 mmHg, with a standard deviation of 10.97 mmHg. Average
systolic blood pressure after therapeutic cupping 146.29 mmHg, with a
standard deviation of 13.303 mmHg. While the average diastolic blood
pressure before cupping therapy 80.86 mmHg, with a standard deviation of
7.811 mmHg. Average diastolic blood pressure after cupping therapy 78.57
mmHg, with a standard deviation of 8.096 mmHg. Conclusion: In this study
got statistics Paired t-test results, there is an effect on systolic and diastolic
blood pressure in hypertensive patients before and after therapy cupping
with Pvalue=0.001 (systolic) and Pvalue=0.019 (diastolic) where p
