The sampling was conducted using randomized sampling. Analysis used the Generalized Linear Model- Repeated Measures (GLM-RM). The bangle rhizome extract gel spray applied twice daily for 7 days was effective in accelerating perineal wound healing. The GLM-RM test showed a significant decrease REEDA scores in the intervention group (p=0.0000.050), while the control group only experienced a decrease in the posttest on day 7. Bangle rhizome extract gel spray given twice daily for 7 days is effective in accelerating perineal wound healing in postpartum mothers based on REEDA scores.  Keywords: Bangle Rhizome Extract Gel Spray, Perineal Wound, Postpartum Mothers.
