Nursing Students of Dadra and Nagar Haveli & Daman & Diu. Method: those students having PMS randomly assigned to experimental group (30) and control group (30) by purposive sampling method. Standardized numerical pain intensity scale were used to assess the premenstrual syndrome during pre-test and post-test of aroma massage among experimental and control group of B.Sc. Nursing students. Results: data analysis was done using mean, SD, paired, unpaired’- tests and chi square. The results revels there is a significant difference in the premenstrual syndrome between the experimental group and control group (t=8.553p<0.0001) after the administration of aroma massage therapy. So, the research hypothesis H1 is accepted at 0.05 level of significance.
