The researchers studied 96 female students suffering from dysmenorrhea and residing in a dormitory at Tehran University of Medical Sciences. They followed the subjects for four months.
Half were randomized into an experimental group and the other half served as the control group. The students were asked to apply three drops of oil on their palms, rub them together, keep their hands 7 to 10 centimeters from their nose, and inhale for five minutes.
The treatments were administered for one hour after they experienced pain during their period. They were also asked to use the treatment every six hours for the first three days of their periods.
The experimental group used lavender oil diluted in sesame oil in a 2:1 ratio. The control group used only sesame oil.
The lavender significantly relieved painful menstrual symptoms compared to the placebo. The control group was 6.8 times more likely to have abdominal pain and backache than the lavender group.
In addition, the control group was about 12 times more likely to suffer tiredness, nausea, and headache than the lavender group. They were also 16 times more likely to faint. The researchers did not find any association between lavender inhalation and the amount of menstrual bleeding.
