The purpose of this study is to explore the effectiveness of mint extract on dysmenorrhea related to pre-menstrual-symptoms among adolescent girls. There is effectiveness in giving mint extract to the level of pain in adolescent girls. Management of pain based on Evidence-Based Practice also needs to consider ways and methods in its implementation, not all treatments can be applied to pain. The limitation in this study is that it cannot conduct sample selection on the influential processes (not all influencing factors can be controlled). Factors that cannot be controlled include food intake, activity, psychology and hormonal imbalances. It is hoped that adolescent girls can use non-pharmacological therapies such as mint extract in reducing pain to reduce and treat pain so that it does not interfere with activity.
