Background: Dysmenorrhea is a menstrual issue frequently experienced by adolescent girls, with a prevalence in Indonesia reaching 64.25%. Data from the Parongpong Community Health Center (Puskesmas) in Cihanjuang Village, West Bandung Regency (KBB), indicate that 391 out of 739 adolescent girls (65.4%) experience dysmenorrhea. One non-pharmacological therapy for pain reduction is lavender and peppermint aromatherapy, which offers both relaxing and analgesic effects. Research Objective: To determine the effectiveness of lavender and peppermint aromatherapy in reducing dysmenorrhea pain among adolescent girls aged 12–18 years in Cihanjuang Village in 2026. Research Method: This study employs a quasi-experimental design with a control group. A sample of 30 adolescent girls was divided into two groups using purposive sampling. Data were collected using observation sheets and the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) instrument, and were analyzed using a statistical test. (Wilcoxon) (and) (Mann-Whitney). Results: The lavender group experienced a reduction in pain levels from the moderate-to-severe category to the mild-to-moderate category following the intervention (p-value = 0.001), whereas the peppermint group experienced a reduction in pain but remained within the mild, moderate, and severe categories (p-value = 0.046). The Mann-Whitney test result showed a p-value of 0.010. Conclusion: Lavender aromatherapy administration proved more effective in reducing dysmenorrhea pain in adolescent girls.
