Rationale and Objective: Insomnia is a major problem in menopausal women. This study
aimed to compare sleep qualities in menopausal women who had used herbal and water steam
baths.
Methodology: This quasi-experimental research study was conducted in 30 menopausal
women who had insomnia. A questionnaire on sleep quality was distributed to each of all partici-
pants for completion before and after experiment. The differences between groups were analysed
by using One-way ANOVA and Paired t-test.
Result: The menopause women after receiving herbal steam had significantly better aver-
age score of sleep quality than the water steam group (p < 0.001). When compare with the control
group, the herbal and water steam groups had significantly better average scores of sleeping
quality than the control group (p < 0.001). Following the comparison before and after experi-
ment, the herbal and water steam groups had better sleeping quality (p < 0.001), while the control
group had not found the significant difference.
Discussion and Conclusions: Herbal steam baths can help menopausal women get better
sleep qualities than only water steam bath. Thus, health-care facilities should promote herbal
steam bath as an alternative method for increasing sleep quality in menopausal women with
insomnia.
Keywords: sleep quality, herbal steam bath, water steam bath, menopausal women, efficacy
