Essential Oils for Fertility

Giving birth to a baby is one of the most rewarding experiences in the whole wide world. Are you and your better half trying to conceive, but experiencing difficulty? Well, you’re not alone, a lot  of us want to have a baby. One thing to know is that there are many different reasons why someone may be experiencing infertility. Using 100% pure essential oils to support fertility is becoming increasingly popular these days, so if you’re interested, then aromatherapy can be a great way to improve your chances of having a baby.

How do Essential Oils work?

The essential oil vapours we inhale into our lungs are tiny little particles blended with oxygen and in turn, exchanged for carbon dioxide. The oxygen molecules that are mixed with the essential oil vapours are absorbed throughout our entire body. Here are some ways that we can inhale and absorb 100% unadulterated pure essential oils.

There are a number of essential oils that are generally considered safe to promote reproductive health due to their therapeutic properties, and can also help manage infertility triggers, such as:

Stress and Anxiety

Stress and anxiety have become common issues in our fast-paced lives, especially if a baby is what you wish for. It’s well documented that stress can interfere with conception because it can affect the hypothalamus gland in the brain that regulates emotions and appetite, including the hormones that prompt your ovaries to release eggs. Stress and anxiety may cause ovulation later on in your cycle, or maybe not at all. This is one of the major contributors to infertility, so the calming effect of essential oils may relieve tension, anxiety and make you feel peaceful.

Lavender essential oil is a safe and natural remedy for treating signs of anxiety, and research has shown that lavender can be just as powerful as some medications. Lavender helps with restlessness, nervousness, insomnia, depression, agitation and dementia.

Hormonal Balance

Both men and women may be affected by hormonal imbalance and this can often cause medical conditions, including infertility. This can be devastating for couples wishing to have a baby There are some really amazing essential oils out there that are known to regulate and balance hormonal levels, but infertility is not just restricted to women. There are many fertility issues that affect men as well, such as sperm count, low sperm motility and sexual dysfunction.

Research has discovered that thyme essential oil has progesterone balancing effects and improves progesterone, whilst sandalwood essential oil can be very effective at balancing out testosterone levels as well.

Low Libido

There are growing numbers of people finding that their sex life is less frequent, but that doesn’t point to an inherent problem in the relationship. A hectic lifestyle, excessive work, lack of sleep, stress and a natural tendency in relationships for sex to get less frequent, as time goes by, can also be contributory factors to low libido. For centuries essential oils have been used all over the world for their aphrodisiac chemistry to boost libido.

Ylang Ylang essential oil may also help impotence and a low libido because it supports the circulatory system, and yet another reason that could help improve your sex life.

Inflammation

A number of health issues may come from excess inflammation in our body. Reproductive conditions associated with chronic inflammation can also contribute to infertility. Reducing excess inflammation could be a crucial component of increasing your ability to conceive.

Peppermint essential oils contain menthol, menthone and methyl esters that make it a natural choice for relieving discomfort associated to aches, pains and inflammation.
