Abstract

Self-medication is the biggest effort made by the community to deal with  health complaints independently, starting from recognizing the symptoms and illnesses they are experiencing to choosing a treatment method. The level of public  knowledge  about the use of medicines and types of herbal plants are known to  be  able to treat various diseases because they have relatively few side effects compared to chemical medicinal compounds. Hypertension is a degenerative  disease  and  is a disease  that  is experienced  by  many people. Self-medication  is the  method  most  people  use to deal with  health  problems before  going  to  health  service  units  in several  areas or buying  medicines  at the  nearest  pharmacy  without advice from a doctor.
