Materials & Methods: 104 nulliparous women referred to the hospitals of Shiraz University of Medical Sciences have been randomly divided into two equal groups. Salvia Officinalis and control group (52 persons in each group). Each group used vapour mask for 15 minutes. The severity  of  labor  pain  was  determined  by  using Visual  Analogue  Scale (VAS) 30 mns before, and 60 minutes  after  the  intervention  of  aromatherapy. Apgar score as well as the method of delivery were determined one, and five minutes after delivery. Result: The  mean   of  the  severity  of  the pain  30  minutes  after   the intervention  was  lower  than  before the  intervention in  the  Salvia  aromatherapy group, which was statistically significant (p=0/001).
