<![CDATA[cesarean section is a delivery technique that involves making an incision in the uterine wall (hysterotomy) through the front abdominal wall (laparotomy). The action of a cesarean section causes a change in the continuity of body tissues that results in pain. This writing aims to apply the provision of lavender aromatherapy as a non-pharmacological nursing intervention at the Islamic Hospital Malahayati Medan, 2nd Floor New Room. This type of writing is a case study using a nursing care approach for a 35-year-old mother diagnosed with post-cesarean section. The intervention provided was the administration of lavender aromatherapy using inhalation methods with a diffuser, by adding 1 cc of lavender essential oil and 10 cc of clean water into the humidifier for 10 – 15 minutes over 3 consecutive days.
