Brief Summary

Birth is a very special experience for a woman and her family. Labor pain is one of the strongest known and defined pains today. In the literature, it has been stated that labor pain is perceived as more severe than chronic pain such as low back pain, cancer pain, phantom pain and postherpetic neuralgia, and acute pain such as fracture or laceration. When birth pain is not controlled, the vicious cycle of stress, fear and pain can continue and affect the mother and fetus negatively. In this study, our aim is to determine the effect of applying peppermint oil diluted with pure natural olive oil to the abdomen and waist region by massage in labor pain, reducing the labor pain.
