One of the mainchallenges during the early postpartum period is inadequate breast milk flow,which is often associated with maternal anxiety and insufficient stimulation ofprolactin and oxytocin hormones. Non-pharmacological interventionsfocusing on maternal relaxation may support lactation. This study aimed toexamine the effect of HYPROLA therapy, a combination ofhypnobreastfeeding and lavender aromatherapy, on breast milk flow inpostpartum mothers.This study employed a pre-experimental one-grouppretest–posttest design involving 15 postpartum mothers within 2–7 days afterdelivery. Participants were selected using total sampling. HYPROLA therapywas administered according to a standardized protocol. Breast milk flow wasassessed before and after the intervention using an observation sheet andquestionnaire. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test with asignificance level of 0.05.The results showed a significant improvement inbreast milk flow following the intervention. Before HYPROLA therapy, only13.3% of participants experienced smooth breast milk flow, whereas after theintervention, 93.3% demonstrated smooth milk flow (p = 0.001).In conclusion, HYPROLA therapy significantly improves breast mil]]>
