Summary
The purpose of this randomized controlled study is to explore whether lavender sandalwood aromatherapy can support comfort, mood, pain relief, and overall satisfaction for participants recovering from a scheduled cesarean section without complications. The main questions this study aims to answer are: * How does lavender sandalwood aromatherapy affect participants' mood during postpartum recovery after a cesarean section? * Does lavender sandalwood aromatherapy help reduce pain during recovery? * Does lavender sandalwood aromatherapy improve participants' overall satisfaction with their recovery experience? Researchers will compare participants who receive lavender-sandalwood aromatherapy with those who do not to determine whether it improves mood, reduces pain, and enhances patient satisfaction. Participants will be asked to: * Wear aromatherapy tabs on their gown for 24 hours. * Have the aromatherapy tabs applied 24 hours after the cesarean section and removed 48 hours after the cesarean section. * Complete surveys at 24 hours and 48 hours after the cesarean section. This will apply to both the control and intervention groups.
