EVALUATING THE EFFICACY OF ROSEMARY AND CHOCOLATE MINT EXTRACT IN PAIN RELIEVING STICK FOR MENSTRUAL CRAMPS

Abstract

This quantitative study aimed to identify a potential solution for women experiencing severe menstrual pain. The primary objective of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a pain-relieving stick formulated with rosemary and chocolate mint extracts in alleviating menstrual cramps. An experimental research design was employed in this study. The effectiveness of the pain-relieving stick was evaluated using a t-test to determine significant differences in pain relief among the participants. The findings indicated that menstrual cramp discomfort can be effectively relieved through the use of a pain-relieving stick formulated with rosemary and chocolate mint extracts. The results showed that the product caused no adverse effects when applied to the skin. In terms of cost, the pain-relieving stick using rosemary and chocolate mint extract was found to be more affordable compared to over-the-counter pain-relief products. Additionally, the majority of participants in the experimental group preferred using the pain-relieving stick over taking medication or using hot compresses as a remedy for menstrual discomfort. The study demonstrated that the combination of rosemary and chocolate mint extracts, which produces a cooling and soothing effect, effectively reduced menstrual pain and cramps. The menthol-based pain-relieving stick showed no negative skin reactions and was particularly effective in managing menstrual cramps. The cooling menthol effect played a key role in pain reduction and was found to be more effective than traditional remedies such as hot compresses.
