Has anyone had success using essential oils to boost fertility?

DazlinSmoke • We tried for 6yrs to concieve, a few years ago we found out that I had a uterine septum and had it removed. Now, 2 years later, just when we were losing hope... suprise!! A baby boy is on the way!

Has anyone tried them or know someone that has for fertility? 2 of my cousins have recently become essential oil promoters for a company called Young Living. They are very expensive and I'm skeptical that an oil is a cure all....

Anyways, I decided to Google the health benefits of using oils for fertility today. My husband and I have been TTC for almost 4yrs.... I'm so ready to be a mom! But I don't want to put my money into oils that are expensive and don't work. After reading some articles, it sounds like oils just might be legit. Maybe they do work... has anyone tried them for fertility? I will copy/past some of the article below so you can read it to if your interested.

Also, I found a few health food stores in my area that have oils and diffusers for a lot cheaper than the Young Living company. Maybe I'll give it a try.....

Here is a portion of the article :

Ways to Utilize Oils

Essential oils can either be dispensed into the air and breathed into your lungs or applied directly to your skin.* Determining which method is right for you depends on the oils being used and personal preference. If you choose to breathe your essential oils in, diffusers can be purchased to make this a possibility. There are also room sprays and steam options available. And for skin absorption, there has never been a better excuse to get a good massage! Some oils prove more beneficial when applied to specific areas of the body, but all can be absorbed through the skin and taken into your blood stream from there. Applying essential oils as part of a massage oil blend prior to Self Fertility Massage is a great way to enhance the benefits of the massage.

Oils Meant to Boost Fertility

There are several essential oils that may have fertility boosting qualities:

Geranium: This oil is fantastic for balancing hormones and regulating your cycle. It also has the soothing effect of calming emotions and helping you to distress. For women with endometriosis, Geranium may be especially beneficial.

Calendula: Great for topical application blended with a carrier oil such as almond oil, Calendula is an anti-inflammatory oil that may help to regulate your menstrual cycle. This is also a fantastic sensitive-skin oil, making it beneficial for use as baby oil (added to a carrier oil first, of coarse!) once your little one is finally in your arms.

German Chamomile: With anti-inflammatory properties, this oil may help reduce pain caused by cysts or fibroids, while also improving your chances of conception.

Yarrow: A detoxifying oil, Yarrow helps to relieve pelvic congestion and prevent inflammation. It is also beneficial for the digestive and urinary tracts.

Clary Sage: Influencing your estrogen levels, Clary Sage helps your body to regulate its hormones naturally. It also has the added effect of being a libido booster, which can be important when failed conception efforts have started to affect enjoyment in the bedroom. This oil may also help with male infertility, treating hormone imbalances and impotence.

Ginger: This oil has antispasmodic, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits. It also aids in the digestive system and supports healthy circulation.

Rose Otto: An oil that helps relax the uterus and regulate your menstrual cycle, Rose Otto also has a libido enhancing effect and improves cervical mucus. However, it is important to note that this oil should not be used after ovulation in your cycle, as it is not safe during pregnancy.

Sweet Fennel: A great herb for getting your hormonal system back on track, sweet fennel is best used during the first part of your cycle to regulate menstruation and improve hormonal functioning. This is another oil that is not safe to use during pregnancy.

Damiana: This sweet smelling oil has aphrodisiac qualities and is beneficial for regulating your menstrual cycle by supporting endocrine system function.

Quality Matters

Not all essential oils are created equal, and paying attention to the quality of the product you are using is important. Make sure to do your research on the company you choose to purchase oils through, ensuring they have a commitment to providing you with the best quality product. Most natural health care practitioners have brands they love and can likely recommend.

One of our favorite massage oils that contains the purest essential oils and is specific to reproductive health is Radiant Womb. This therapeutic massage oil contains all the essential oils listed above and more. Interested in this oil? Learn more about it here…

*Important note of caution: Essential oils should always be diluted in a carrier oil prior to applying to the skin. Only some essential oils are safe to apply to the skin directly (neat) and should only be done so under the advise of a qualified aromatherapist.
