Hopefully you read my previous post Increase Fertility - Aromatherapy which discusses why aromatherapy works well as one option for treating infertility.
Now you are probably wondering, if aromatherapy is one way of increasing fertility, then which oils should you use?
Firstly let me remind you again, that you always need to check with your doctor before using essential oils, as some oils can interfere with illness, certain conditions and medications. Once you have the OK, then enjoy. Using aromatherapy is a wonderful experience.
Base Oils: Grapeseed Oil, Wheatgerm or Almond Oil are generally used as base oils. These are oils used to add essential oils to for the purpose of diluting the essential oil.
Geranium: Is said to have a balancing affect on hormones. A personal recommendation is combining this with rose oil.
Rose: An uplifting oil, can help when feeling low. It is often used to regulate the reproductive system.
Chamomile: Used mostly for relaxation. Can be used in burners, massage, the bath, placed under pillows, and is especially popular in soaps and toiletries.
Basil: While an unexpected recommendation, basil works to increase reproductive health.
Lavender: Relaxing and Romantic, excellent qualities for any couple under the pressure of infertility.
Jasmine: Relaxing and along with Lavender is thought to increase libido.
So there you go, check with your health care professional that oils are safe for you to use, and enjoy.
The path to fertility is a complex one, and the more informed you are the better and more varied decisions you can make. Relaxation is a huge focus of aromatherapy, and is something that is often disregarded because stress and worry takes over during the path to fertility. Take time out, discover your senses, and enjoy essential oils, they really are a wonderful gift of nature.
