This randomized controlled trial evaluated the effects of jasmine oil massage, both manually and with an electrical massager, on blood pressure in traffic wardens with stage 2 hypertension. The study involved 300 participants and found that the combination of jasmine oil and an electrical massager resulted in significant blood pressure reduction (p = 0.0001), while the electrical massager alone showed no significant effect (p > 0.005).
Key findings
- Jasmine oil with an electrical massager significantly reduced blood pressure (p = 0.0001).
- Manual jasmine oil massage also showed significant results (p < 0.005).
- The electrical massager alone did not significantly affect blood pressure (p > 0.005).
- Na v 1.9 showed better binding with phytochemicals compared to Na v 1.7 and Na v 1.8.
Why it matters
The findings suggest that jasmine oil massage, particularly when combined with an electrical massager, may provide an effective, non-invasive treatment option for managing hypertension in specific populations, such as traffic wardens.
