Abstract	Muscle pain is one of the most common health complaints affecting individuals across all age groups. It may result from physical exertion, stress, inflammation, sports injuries, chronic illnesses, or musculoskeletal disorders. Conventional pain management strategies often include non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), muscle relaxants, and analgesics; however, prolonged use of these medications may lead to adverse effects. This has increased interest in natural and plant-based therapies such as lavender extract. Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) is a medicinal herb widely recognized for its calming aroma and therapeutic properties. The plant contains bioactive compounds including linalool, linalyl acetate, flavonoids, and tannins that contribute to analgesic, anti-inflammatory, muscle-relaxing, and antioxidant effects.
