ABSTRACT

Adolescence, considered to be a prime period in life of an individual is the age group when the body undergoes numerous physiological and physical changes. It is in adolescence only when males and females enter puberty. Males as well as females both exhibit signs of secondary sex characteristics. Achieving menarche has a significant importance in a female's life but it brings a lot of very painful experience for many. Menstruation is not only just bleeding but it causes a lot of discomfort which can be agonizing for many females and they require some kind of pain relievers to alleviate pain. Most of the time pain experienced by young adolescent girls also called primary dysmenorrhea is ignored and underdiagnosed. Use of natural remedies can be fruitful to improve the quality of life of young adolescents.
