Hasil: Sebelum intervensi, seluruh responden (100%) memiliki kategori ASI tidak lancar. Setelah intervensi, 90,6% responden memiliki ASI lancar. Uji Wilcoxon menunjukkan nilai p=0,000 (p<0,05), yang berarti terdapat perbedaan signifikan antara produksi ASI sebelum dan sesudah intervensi. Kesimpulan: Terapi kombinasi pijat oketani dan aromaterapi sereh efektif dalam meningkatkan produksi ASI pada ibu nifas.
