In Indonesia, the prevalence of dysmenorrhea reaches 55%, and in Lampung it is recorded at 54.9%. Dysmenorrhea impacts activities, learning concentration, and even school attendance. At SMPN 1 Batu Ketulis, 81.2% of female students who visited the health center complained of menstrual pain. Pharmacological interventions such as analgesics have side effects. Non-pharmacological efforts such as lavender aromatherapy are considered effective, safe, and easy. Lavender contains linalool and linalyl acetate, which have relaxant properties.
