The risk of increased blood pressure will occur at the age of >50 years. The incidence of hypertension is increasing with the age of a person. If the blood vessels narrow, the flow of the arteries will be disrupted, where there will be a decrease in O2 (oxygen) and an increase in CO2 (carbon dioxide), resulting in pain. Non-pharmacological therapy that can reduce pain in hypertensive patients is dry cupping combined with acupressure. The implications of dry cupping therapy combined with acupressure are carried out 3 times a day in 1 week with a duration of 20 minutes.
