Premenstrual syndrome is a common chronic disorder in most women of reproductive age. The main symptoms are depression, anxiety, tension, feeling out of control, and mastalgia. In premenstrual syndrome, the effects of aromatic edible Elsholtzia splendens and Cirsium japonicum were investigated for over 3 months in 30 women participants in their twenties. In the Elsholtzia splendens capsule treated group, scores of depression and anxiety were significantly lower than those in the Cirsium japonicum capsule treated group. Moreover, instability of the premenstrual assessment form was significantly decreased in the Elsholtzia splendens capsule treated group. Our results suggest that Elsholtzia splendens could be an effective plant material in relieving symptoms of premenstrual syndrome.
经前综合征是大多数生育年龄女性常见的慢性疾病。主要症状有抑郁、焦虑、紧张、失控感和乳房触痛。本研究调查了芳香可食用植物罗勒和刺儿菜对 30 名二十多岁女性的影响，为期 3 个月。在罗勒胶囊治疗组中，抑郁和焦虑评分明显低于刺儿菜胶囊治疗组。此外，罗勒胶囊治疗组的经前期评估表的不稳定性明显降低。我们的研究结果表明，罗勒可能是缓解经前期综合征症状的有效植物材料。
