Abstrak

Kejawanan has gained prominence as a noteworthy destination due to its distinctive practice of sand therapy, closely intertwined with mystical beliefs and cultural traditions. In addition, sand and water contain minerals that can benefit health. Further scientific research is needed to validate the direct benefits of such therapeutic practices. This study aimed to investigate the effects of sea sand therapy on blood pressure and heart rate. A quantitative quasi-experimental design was employed with 34 participants divided into treatment and control groups. Purposive sampling was used to assign participants. Sea sand therapy involved applying a mixture of sand and seawater to limbs for 15 minutes. Both groups underwent pre- and post-intervention measurements. Statistical analysis using the Wilcoxon test revealed significant reductions in systolic and diastolic blood pressure and heart rate in the intervention group  (p<0.050), while the control group showed no significant changes (p=1.000). Specifically, the mean systolic blood pressure decreased by 6.88 mmHg, diastolic blood pressure by 4.35 mmHg, and heart rate by 6.18 beats per minute post-intervention. These findings suggest that sea sand therapy at Kejawanan Beach is effective in reducing blood pressure and heart rate, indicating its potential as a complementary therapy for managing hypertension. Further research needs to investigate the influence of suggestion and belief as confounding factors affecting changes in blood pressure and pulse rate in individuals undergoing sea sand therapy
