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.\n\nParticipants will be asked to:\n\n* Wear aromatherapy tabs on their gown for 24 hours.\n* Have the aromatherapy tabs applied 24 hours after the cesarean section and removed 48 hours after the cesarean section.\n* Complete surveys at 24 hours and 48 hours after the cesarean section.
