The research was RCT post-test only control group design with a double-blind approach with sample consisted of n1=n2=50 respondents. First treatment group were given the katuk leaf biscuit and the control group were biscuit not katuk leaf, for 9th days. Data were collected and analyzed by the Mann Whitney test.
