Hypertension is a non-communicable disease with increasing prevalence and contributes significantly to morbidity and mortality rates. Early screening for hypertension in the coastal areas of Soropia District is very important to detect cases early and prevent complications that may arise. Complementary cupping therapy has been widely used as an effective non-pharmacological method in lowering blood pressure. The purpose of this community service is to increase the understanding of coastal communities in the Badjoe Islands regarding hypertension and the application of complementary cupping therapy in efforts to prevent the disease. The methods used include health surveys, education, and providing cupping therapy as an intervention to prevent hypertension. The results showed that most people have blood pressure above normal limits. The majority of people who participated in the screening and cupping therapy simulation were aged 45-54 years (44.29%), 55-65 years (28.57%) and 66-74 years (27.14%). In terms of gender, female participants were more dominant (60%) than male participants (40%). Most of the community has a body mass index in the normal category (32.86%), and obesity level I (30%) and overweight (21.43%). The community's systolic blood pressure is in the hypertension category (58.57%), and diastolic blood pressure is in the hypertension category (40%). The community's cholesterol value is still in the normal range (57.97%), although some have high to very high levels. The main obstacles in its implementation are limited time and participant knowledge. In conclusion, cupping therapy as a complementary intervention combined with health education and screening is effective in lowering blood pressure and increasing health awareness in the coastal community of Soropia District. The implementation of health checks and screening for non-communicable diseases in this coastal area is expected to support the implementation of cupping therapy as a holistic hypertension prevention and control intervention.
