Blood pressure is one of the major diseases in developing countries. The treatment for blood pressure by normal medicine causes more side effects than alternative or traditional medicine, so in this study cucumber has been used which is a traditional and natural medicine. The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of cucumber juice on blood pressure among healthy individuals. The sample size of this study was 30 individuals which were randomly selected. Before the study begins, informed consent was taken from the participants. They were asked to consume cucumber juice for 7 days twice a day in hot water. Before the study starts, blood pressure was measured for all participants. After a week their blood pressure has been checked. There is a slight difference in the systole and diastole after taking the cucumber juice for one week hence the systole is 108.1 and the diastole is 71.9 after taking the cucumber juice the systole has been decreased by 6% and diastole to 3%. From this study, it is evident that there is slight change in the blood pressure after taking the cucumber juice. If people may consume cucumber juice daily there will be a change in their blood pressure.
