Abstract

Various kinds of herbal plants are frequently used by the Indonesian community for treating hypertension, such as avocado (Persea americana) leaves. It is believed that the plant has an antihypertensive effect. This study, therefore, aims to review the effect of giving avocado leaf decoction on blood pressure levels in patients with hypertension. The research employed a review article based on selected research articles published in journals indexed by the Sinta 1–4 Indonesian journal indexation. Google Scholar, Garuda, and One Search databases were searched for articles using the terms “avocado leaf decoction,” “blood pressure,” and “hypertension.” As a result, only full-text articles were included in the review. Based on the five papers reviewed in this study, the findings revealed that giving avocado leaf decoction significantly lowered the respondents’ blood pressure levels, with a p-value of <0.05. Thus, administering avocado leaves boiled in water to patients with hypertension reduce their blood pressure levels.
