ABSTRACT Results of preliminary observations made on October 20, 2012, found 10 patients who had hypertension at the puskesmas batur.of the 10 men found that no one has done by lowering blood pressure by drinking a decoction of leaves air avocados, like rendang. By using herbs (medicinal plants) such as avocado leaf that has the effect of lowering blood pressure, chemical side effects would be avoided. Traditional treatment are increasingly popular with the public, even more necessary since it is a good alternative treatment, low cost and no side effects. Experimental studies by using design Quasy One Group Pretest-posttest which was held on 3-6 February and 10-13 February 2013 in the working area of Batur clinic using random sampling techniques with a sampling size of 32 people. Data processing techniques performed with the help of computerization. Then the data Univariete and Bivariate analysis using a paired t test. The results in getting that Mean systolic blood pressure before being boiled avocado leaf water is 149.2 mmHg. While Mean systolic blood pressure after the water decoction of the leaves is given avocado is 136.2 mmHg, with a standard deviation of 2.368 mmHg. Bivariate comparison of results obtained on changes in systolic blood pressure before and after the water decoction of leaves of avocado decline in systolic blood pressure by an average of 13.06 mmHg and p=0.000, this means that the value of p<0.05 so that there are significant of avocado leaves boiled water pressure drop blood in the Work Area Health Center Batur. Therefore expected to have hypertension can learn and utilize the avocado leaves as one alternative in the treatment of hypertension to lower systolic blood pressure, especially at.
