However, lack of research has been conducted to examine its effect on pain in postpartum mothers. Objective: To examine the effect of Lo’i karana on muscle pain in postpartum mothers. Methods: This was a quasi-experimental study with posttest only control group design. Thirty mothers were selected using purposive sampling, which 10 assigned in 3 groups (standard-dose group, minimal-dose group, and maximal-dose group). Wong-Baker Faces Pain rating scale was used to measure pain on day 1 and day 3. Kruskal-Wallis Test and Mann Whitney test were used for data analysis. Results: There were significant effects of Lo’i karana in minimal, standard and maximal dosage on pain level in the first day (p=0.004) and the third day (p=0.009) in postpartum mothers. The results revealed that the higher doses were used for the treatment, the less pain of the mothers would be. Conclusion: Lo’i karana has a significant effect in reducing pain level in postpartum mothers.
