The present study aim was the assess the effectiveness of hibiscus sabdariffa on hypertensive patients in rural area. A Quantitaive research approach and Quasi experimental pre-test and post-test control group design have adopted for the present study. 60 participants were selected who are satisfied with inclusion criteria whereas 30 samples in experimental group other 30 sample were in control group, they were selected by convenient sampling technique. A structured questionnaire method to collect the demographic variables and clinical variables, blood pressure is assessed by the sphygmomanometer. Among 60 patient, 30 hypertensive patient participated in the reveals the pretest mean score was 1.83±0.36 and the post-test mean score was 1.23±0.66 in systolic blood pressure and the pretest mean score was 1.4±0.48 and post-test mean score was 0.5±0.40 in diastolic blood pressure. Paired t test to compare the pre and posttest level of blood pressure among experimental group. The present study regard to the pre and post-test level of systolic blood pressure among experimental group it was found that the t value was5.86, With regard to the pre and post-test level of diastolic blood pressure among experimental group it was found that the t value was 12.3, indicating that the rewash a highly significant reduction in post-test level of blood pressure among the experimental group at p<0.05level. The present study reveals the pretest mean score was 1.83±0.53 and the post-test mean score was 1.96 ±1.6 in systolic blood pressure and the pretest mean score was 1.26 ±0.49 and post-test mean score was 0.22 ±0.71 in diastolic blood pressure. paired t test to compare the pre and post-test level of blood pressure among control group. With regard to the pre and post-test level of systolic blood pressure among control group it was found that the t value was 2.35, With regard to the pre and post-test level of diastolic blood pressure among control group it was found that the t value was 2.48, indicating that there was no significant reduction in post-test level of blood pressure among the control group at p<0.05 level.
