Abstract

Abstract Introduction: The prevalence of orthostatic hypotension is high. Management of orthostatic hypotension included A-F, that are Abdominal compression, Boluses of Water, Bed Up, Counter maneuvers, Drug, Education, Exercise, Fluid and salt. Carica papaya and Manihot utilissima leaves were not allowed to eat by hypertension patient because they are assumed to have ability in elevate blood pressure. The hypothetic of this phenomenon is Carica papaya and Manihot utilissima prospect as anti-hypotension agent. The aim of research was to analyze mineral and electrolyte of Carica papaya and Manihot utlissima leaves. Materials and Methods: Manihot utilissima and Carica papaya leaves were prepared in extract, simplisia and fresh leaves. ICP (induction coupled plasma) analysis was used to identify mineral and electrolyte content. Results: Mineral and electrolyte content (mg) per 100 gr Manihot utilissima extract : Na (14.75), K (1112), Fe (63.37), Zn (40.24), Al (46.67), Rb (16.87), Ba (16.25) and Cu (8.38). Mineral and electrolyte content (mg) per 100 gr Carica papaya extract: Na (21.73), K (574.5), Fe (320.6), Zn (33.22), Al (45.02), Rb (13.78), Ba (12.91) and Cu (1.48). Conclusions: Based on the sodium and potassium content, Manihot utilissima and Carica papaya leaves have potency as anti-hypotension agent
