Aromatherapy & Fertility

Pressure and stress will decreased your fertility as both makes us sad, the feeling of depressed, tired and no positive spirits to believe in good things. Modern women including me suffer a great deal of this. We woke up early morning, rushing to get to work, honking and speeding to avoid dreadful traffics, attend long tiring meetings, handling office issues and stuff, skip breakfast / lunch, rush again to get back home, handling house chores and resting the day off with the heavy feeling coz tomorrow we will face the same things again…

Over years you get used to it…and starting to believe this is part of you without realizing the tension and stress has actually decaying your good long life without you even noticing it…the major contribution to the issues of fertility that affects the hormonal imbalance.

I admit that I’m a victim of this environment ( stress + other factors) …environment that has taken a lot of good spirits within me...at times the feeling of loss in dismay and the feeling of accepting everything as fate or nothing can change no matter what I do. Thankfully being a Muslim we will always turn to our Creator to ask for continuous strength through prayers or supplication...and there are times when my motivation is elevated so high that nothing matters as long as I still believe that one fine day it will eventually happen to me…I have trust and faith in God…so for the time being besides prayers, good medication and supplements, there are many alternatives that promotes fertility …so while browsing I found about aromatherapy, which can help improve a woman’s reproductive health and increase one’s ability to get pregnant by reducing stress and promoting overall good health.

Here are some points taken from the site.

"In aromatherapy, essential oils are used in order to stimulate relaxation in the muscles and to relieve tension. Essential oils are highly concentrated plant substances, distilled from roots, seeds, barks and leaves. They are usually costly because of the tiny amounts of oil present in a plant and because of the difficulties in extracting it."

"Because essential oils are so concentrated, they should not be applied directly to the skin. Instead, try the following methods:

• Massage: dilute the essential oil in a base such as grapeseed oil, wheatgerm or almond oil; the essential oil should be in the region of 1 to 3 per cent of the quantity of the base. Massage can also be an excellent getting pregnant aphrodisiac and you and your partner can take turns massaging one another. Daily massage can be especially helpful to your reproductive system starting on the final day of your period


• Oil Burner: add 3 to 4 drops of essential oils to a container holding water that is heated by a small candle, allowing the aromas to gently fill the air. It is believed that the healing properties of aromatherapy enter the body through the capillaries of the nose


• Baths: add 5 to 10 drops of essential oil to a warm bath in order to reduce stress, depression and anxiety. If you’re sensitive to essential oils, try diluting them in some base oil or a little milk and allow the oils to disperse before entering the bath
