given a warm water therapy systolic blood pressure average was of 170 mmHg and diastolic was
90,36 mmHg. The result after bing given warm water therapy systolic blood pressure average was
155,36 mmHg and diastolic one was 84,64 mmHg. The average decline of systolic blood pressure
was 14, 643 mmHg and 5,714 mmHg of diastolic one. It showed there is a significant difference of
systolic and diastolic blood pressure before and after being given warm water therapy. The
conclusion of this research that there is the differences in blood pressure before and after being
