Method: This research was an experimental and comparative using pre test and post test as its design. The experiment was done on 30 adults male. Blood pressures (systole and diastole) measured on sitting position using the combine method, both before and after drinking celery ethanol extract, once a day, until one week. The data analyzed using the paired ”t” test and Wilcoxon signed rank test with α = 0.05. Results :The result of this research were average blood pressure after drinking CEE was 109,40/70,20 mmHg; while blood pressure before drinking CEE was 116,02/74,79 mmHg (p < 0.001).
