Aromatherapy stimulates the hypothalamus, or pituitary gland, to release endorphins, which cause feelings of calm, serenity, and happiness. In addition, the active ingredients lavender, linaool and linalyl acetate, function as an analgesic.

Method: The method used is searching for evidence through databases from PubMed and Google Scholar with publication years 2019 – 2023, full text, experimental research design/systematic review, in English or Indonesian.

Conclusion: lavender aromatherapy reduces perineal pain in mothers postpartum.]]>
