First seen Jul 30, 2026 · Last updated Jul 31, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests whether drinking lavender herbal tea twice daily for nine days around each menstrual cycle can reduce the emotional and physical symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS), such as anxiety, depression, stress, and pain. Sixty women with PMS will be randomly assigned to drink lavender tea or to a waiting-list control group. Researchers will measure changes in PMS symptoms, quality of life, and menstrual bleeding over two cycles.
