<![CDATA[Fatigue is a common condition experienced by students due to high physical and mental activities in boarding school environments. One non-pharmacological ap-proach to reduce fatigue is the combination of sliding cupping therapy and lavender oil. Aimed to determine the effect of the combination of sliding cupping therapy and lavender oil on fatigue levels among students at Pondok Pesantren Modern Al-Muqoddas Cirebon in 2026. This study employed a quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest control group approach. The sample consisted of 44 respondents, divided into experimental and control groups, with 22 respondents in each group. The sampling technique used was total sampling. The instrument used was the Fatigue Assesment Scale (FAS). Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test. Before the intervention, the experimental group consisted of 63.6% with moderate fatigue, 27.3% with mild fatigue and 9.1% with severe fatigue. After the therapy, 63.6% with mild fatigue and 36.4% not experiencing fatigue. In the control group, before the intervention 59.1% had mild fatigue, 36.4% had moderate fatigue and 4.5% severe fatigue, which after the intervention became 50.0% moderate fatigue, 45.5% mild fatigue and 4.5% severe fatigue. Statistical tests showed a significant decrease in the experimental group (p = 0.000; p < 0.05) compared to the control group (p = 0.017; p < 0.05). Although both groups experienced changes, the strength of statistical evidence indicates that the intervention in the experimental group is far more dominant and effective in reducing fatigue levels compared to the control group. This therapy can be used as a non-pharmacological alternative to manage fatigue.]]>
