# Does ylang-ylang aromatherapy reduce PMS severity?

Yes, ylang-ylang aromatherapy significantly reduced PMS severity (p=0.00), though without a control group we cannot be completely certain it was the aromatherapy causing the improvement.

 Early or limited evidence

38 midwifery students in Indonesia with PMS

## What they did

38 midwifery students with PMS received ylang-ylang aromatherapy. PMS severity was measured before and after using a questionnaire called the Shortened Premenstrual Assessment Form.

## What they found

After ylang-ylang aromatherapy, PMS severity decreased significantly, with a p-value of 0.00 (meaning highly statistically significant).

## What it means for you

Ylang-ylang aromatherapy may help reduce PMS. The study had no control group for comparison, so we cannot know if the improvement was from the aromatherapy or other factors. The sample is also small with only 38 women.
