Hypertension has become a focus of health attention in the world because it is one of the causes of disease and death that occurs worldwide. Awareness of the dangerous impacts of hypertension is still not everyone's awareness. The absence of physical symptoms that appear in hypertension sufferers causes them to feel that they do not have the disease or feel healthy. Non-compliance with medication consumption is still one of the causal factors that worsens the condition of hypertension sufferers. Star fruit (Averrhoa carambola) is very useful in helping lower blood pressure because it contains fiber, provitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, phosphorus, calcium, iron, potassium which are useful in lowering blood pressure. This research uses a descriptive survey method. Sampling was taken using a total sampling technique with a total sample of 30 people, namely hypertension sufferers in Bona Gianyar Village. The instrument used was a questionnaire. The results of this research showed that the majority of respondents had a good level of knowledge (60.0%) and a discussion of the level of knowledge of the characteristics of the respondents showed that the level of knowledge was good based on the age of the majority aged 46-55 years, amounting to (33.3%), based on gender, namely female respondents amounted to (56.7%), based on occupation, namely private employee respondents amounted to (30.0%) and based on education, namely respondents with a high school education amounted to (73.3%). Most respondents have a good level of knowledge about sweet starfruit juice as a way to reduce hypertension. It is hoped that the results of this research can be used by the community as a form of non-pharmacological treatment.
