Why the study?
Menopausal women aged 45-55 years face a higher risk of hypertension than premenopausal and perimenopausal women, prompting evaluation of celery leaf decoction and tomato juice to reduce blood pressure in this population.
Does celery leaf decoction reduce blood pressure more effectively than tomato juice in menopausal women with hypertension?
Does celery leaf decoction reduce blood pressure more effectively than tomato juice in menopausal women with hypertension?
In a small case study of 6 menopausal women with hypertension taking antihypertensive medications, adding daily celery leaf decoction for 7 days resulted in a numerically greater blood pressure reduction than adding tomato juice.
Menopause is one of the natural phases experienced by a woman. This menopausal condition is caused by the hormones estrogen and progesterone from the woman's ovaries being reduced, the ovaries stop releasing eggs so that menstrual activity decreases and eventually stops altogether. Hypertension in the reproductive cycle is often a disturbing polemic, especially during pregnancy, childbirth, postpartum and the premenopausal period to menopause. Menopausal women at the age of 45-55 years are at a higher risk of developing hypertension than women in the premenopausal and perimenopausal periods. The purpose of this study is to prove the effect of giving celery leaf decoction and tomato juice to reduce hypertension in menopausal women at the Menes Health Center in 2025. Method This study uses a qualitative method with a case study approach, the informants in this study are 6 menopausal women who came to check themselves at the Menes health center and were experiencing hypertension. Where three menopausal women were given celery leaf decoction and three menopausal women were given tomato juice. Each was given as many as 1 time in the afternoon for 7 days. Menopausal mothers who were given the intervention of celery leaf decoction and tomato juice both experienced a decrease in blood pressure so that no difference was found in the effect of celery leaf decoction and tomato juice on the reduction of blood pressure, but celery leaf decoction had a greater decrease than menopausal mothers who were given tomato juice intervention, namely with a difference of 16 mmHg systole and 6 mmHg diastole.

Marzuarini et al. (2025) studied Hypertension in menopausal women (n=6). Celery leaf decoction vs. Tomato juice 200 ml (prepared from 150 g fresh tomato, 50 ml water, and 5 g sugar) once daily in the afternoon; both groups also routinely consumed antihypertensive medication was evaluated on Systolic blood pressure reduction at 7 days (mmHg) (MD 16 mmHg).
