Aromatherapy is the science of using high concentrated essential oils or essences with distilled high concentration of plants to take advantage of therapeutic properties '' . Essential oils or essences are obtained from various parts of plants (root, leaf, flower, shell, fruit) and therapeutically used for physical and psychological favors. The aromatherapine is a noninvasive process and the convenience of use allows the widespread use of aromatherapy. Aromatic oils can be applied in four basic ways. These are topical (tap, compressed or bath), internal (mouthwash, vaginal or anal wick), mouth (with capsules or honey, alcohol or diluent) and inhalation (inhalation directly or indirectly, steam or vapor ) is the way . Volatile oils that can be applied in various means can reach the neocortex part of the brain directly with the links to the hypothalamus from the limbic system. As a result of the impact of aromatic oils on the central nervous system, relief, sedation or stimulating effects are formed and the energy blockage in the body is broken, due to the information stream reaching the brain with the warning of the central nervous system and the resulting energy is exposed. The improvement process is supported by its exposed energy stream in a balanced way of the relevant organs, and the state of physical and spiritual goodness is emerged.

Study Design

• Study Type: interventional
• Phase: not applicable
• Allocation: RANDOMIZED
• Masking: DOUBLE
• Who Masked: PARTICIPANT, OUTCOMES ASSESSOR
• Masking Details: In the study, the evaluation and statistical analysis will be blinded. Statistical analyzes will be carried out by a faculty member other than researchers. A non-aware of the experiment and control groups will be aware of the assessment of initiatives. Data entries will be entered with "A", "B" and "C" code without the test or control group specified. Writing the analysis and research report of the data will be carried out to be coded as "A", "B" and "C" group. After the statistical analysis is made and the research report is written, the encoders for the experiment and the control group will be explained by the encoder by the encoder. The data collection tool described below before the venture and the control group will be applied below
• Purpose: SUPPORTIVE CARE
• Intervention Model: PARALLEL
• Sponsor Type: OTHER
• Responsible Party: SPONSOR

Model Details: 3 groups will be formed from the students identified with the symptoms of premenstrual syndrome. 1.Gruba Neroli, 2.Gruba Lemongrass, to Group 3 (Placebo Group) will be given water vapor and the states of premenstrual syndrome among the groups and the status of premenstrual symptoms will be evaluated.
