An increase in systolic blood pressure of more than 140 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure of more than 90 mmHg on two measurements five minutes apart in a state of rest or calm is called hypertension. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), in 2015, 22% of the world's population suffered from hypertension; in Southeast Asia, the subject reach 36%.

This study used Quasy Experiment Design with pre-test-post test with control group approach from 22 people as samples. The results of hypothesis testing of the treatment group with paired t-test on systolic and diastolic obtained p-values of 0.000 and 0.001. Whereas in the control group, the systolic and diastolic p-values ​​were 0.053 and 0.082. Meanwhile, the results of the independent t-test statistical analysis on systolic and diastolic blood pressure in the treatment group and the control group obtained p values ​​of 0.000 and 0.010 (p <0.05), which means that there was a significant difference between the treatment group and the control group. Applying effleurage massage with virgin coconut oil’s topical on the extremities is suggested to reduce blood pressure in hypertensive subject.
