Abstract

Hypercholesterolemia is a high level of cholesterol in the blood. Patients must take anti-cholesterol drugs
for a long time, so they are at risk of experiencing side effects from the drug. Apo-B and total cholesterol are
indicators of cholesterol levels in the blood. Wet cupping therapy is a method of excreting metabolic waste in
the blood through the surface of the skin. The study aims to prove the potential of wet cupping therapy as a
complementary therapy to reduce Apo-B and total cholesterol.
Method: This research is Quasy experimental research using humans as research subjects. The dependent
variable is Apo-B, and total cholesterol gave wet cupping treatment. Cupping is done twice, 7 points, using a
G21 needle. A large sample of 32 people with hypercholesterolemia divided into treatment groups and
control groups. The research subjects were selected based on sample inclusion criteria. After 12 hours of
fasting and still taking simvastatin, blood was taken through 5ml of the brachial vein. Put into a 2ml purple
tube containing EDTA the rest inserted in a red tube. Apo-B measurement using ELISA sandwich method,
elabscience reagent, Biopharma ELISA reader tool, in units of ng/ml. Total cholesterol uses the enzymatic
colorimetry method, diasys reagent, Biolyzer100 spectrophotometry, in mg/dl units. Data analysis was
carried out with the Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test with a significance level of 5% (α = 0.05), the predatacompared
with
the post data.

Results:
A
significant
reduction
in
Apo-B
measurements
with
p-value
0.000
(α
<0.05),
SD
42.
A
significant

reduction
also
occurred
in
the total
cholesterol
group. Obtained
p-value
0.005
(α
<0.05)
SD
0.23.

Conclusion:
Intervention
of
wet
cupping
therapy
can
reduce
Apo-B
levels
and
total
cholesterol
in
the
blood.

Further
research
needs
to
be
done
to measure
the
potential
for prevention
of atherosclerosis.
