Objective: The main objective of this study is to determine if the addition of aromatic medicine can decrease blood pressure with standard treatment for a patient with hypertension compares patient with standard treatment. 

Methods: Study on the patient with hypertension in Wiang Chiang Rung Hospital. After purposive sampling, 80 patients were divided into 2 groups. The 40 people in the intervention group were treated by Select subjects based on screening with inclusion and exclusion criteria and were randomized into 2 groups such as the experimental group of patients taking Enalapril 5-15 mg /day) with Taking a dose of YA HOM TEP PRA CHIT 3 capsules 3 times before meal (1,200 mg/day) once a day in the morning by the standards and evaluation satisfaction after the treatment 

Results: The results of the study concluded that the average blood pressure at pretest and post-test in the experimental group had an average decrease. Baseline characteristics between the treatment and control groups were similar. Before the treatment, the systolic blood pressure of the intervention and control group in term of after the treatment showed the average of systolic blood pressure of the control group before joining the study and before the treatment are 153.13,153.83,153.93,154.98, and 154.98. The average of diastolic blood pressure of the intervention group before joining the study and before the treatment showed the average of diastolic blood pressure of the control group before joining the study and before the treatment are 84.38,85.05,85.53,86.15, and 86.40. 

Conclusion: For the comparison of average systolic blood pressure after the treatment of both groups are statistically significant differences at the 0.05 level, but before the experiment, the average systolic blood pressure of both groups does not have statistically significant differences at the 0.05 level. And for the comparison of average diastolic blood pressure after the treatment in week2-4 of both groups are statistically significant differences at the 0.05 level.
