Pain during menstruation can be reduced, one way is the management of non-pharmacological therapy by giving herbal drinks in the form of ginger boiled water. Ginger contains essential oils in which there is a chemical content of gingerol which has a strong effect on inhibiting prostaglandin biosynthesis where excessive prostaglandin formation can cause excessive uterine contractions so that it can also increase pain.

When water has not been given from boiling ginger, the intensity of menstrual pain shows a range between five to eight which has an average result of seven then after giving water from boiling ginger on the 2nd day shows a range between one to four which has an average of 2.55. the conclusion of the t-test experiment shows that the number at t as much as 24.106 in df 19 has a relevant level of (p) 0.000. Ginger boiled water has the potential to relieve menstrual pain.
