Fertility is the natural ability to conceive and give birth to children. It relies on multiple body systems working in harmony in order to support the production of reproductive hormones that control the creation of healthy eggs and sperm, successful fertilization, and the ability to carry a pregnancy to term.
That said, fertility occurs when the body is in imbalance. Essential oils can be used to help support the healthy balance of organ systems involved in your body’s ability to conceive and carry a child to term.
Symptoms of Infertility
The main sign of infertility is being unable to get pregnant after six months or one year of regular, unprotected sex. Some women experience other physical symptoms such as:
- Irregular periods or missed periods
- Heavy or painful menstruation
- Mood swings (irritability, depression, anxiety)
- Reduced libido
- Pelvic or abdominal pain.
- Fatigue
- Anxiety or depression.
- Vaginal discharge with an unusual color or odor
- Vaginal dryness or difficulty reaching orgasm
- Acne or skin problems
- Hair loss or thinning
- Unexplained weight gain or loss
Essential Oils for Fertility
Essential oils may help address the underlying imbalances that can enhance hormone balance. This balance is crucial for fertility and conception.
Essential oils are believed to work by interacting with the body’s endocrine system. They are thought to stimulate hormone production or inhibit excess hormone release. This action may create a more favorable environment for reproductive wellness. For example, essential oils may help regulate estrogen levels, which may help support regular menstrual cycles and ovulation, which may help enhance reproductive health.
Hormonal balance requires the elimination of old hormones. Your drainage pathways are the routes your body uses to get stuff out. If any of these pathways are congested, sluggish, burdened, or dysfunctional, then the balance of hormones is disrupted. Essential oils can support the body’s drainage pathways—including the liver and gallbladder, which help eliminate old hormones—by improving circulation, reducing inflammation, and stimulating detoxification processes
Stress can also disrupt hormonal balance and reduce the chances of pregnancy. Essential oils can help reduce stress and improve mood. Essential oils like lavender and ylang-ylang are known for their calming properties, which can help create a positive environment for conception.
Fertility Support Kit™
Fertility is not just about reproductive organs—it’s about multiple body systems working in harmony. When your hormones are balanced, your stress response is calm, and your detox pathways are open, your body is better able to support conception and reproductive wellness.
That’s precisely what the Fertility Support Kit™ was designed to do. This unique collection of five essential oil blends—Parasympathetic®, Adrenal®, Hypothalamus™, Gallbladder™, and Liver™—works synergistically to promote the body’s natural hormonal processes, including hormonal balance, healthy detoxification, and the optimal functioning of your endocrine system.
Parasympathetic®: Turning on “Rest and Digest”
Healthy fertility depends on your body’s ability to shift into the parasympathetic state, also known as the “rest and digest” system—the nervous system gear that promotes a state of relaxation that counteracts stress, which negatively impacts reproductive hormones and blood flow to the pelvic region. When you’re in stress mode, your body diverts energy away from vital functions like digestion, detoxification, and repair.
Parasympathetic® helps activate your vagus nerve to support your parasympathetic “rest and digest” nervous system to turn on natural elimination pathways and healthy liver function. The parasympathetic nervous system initiates the housekeeping wave of digestion, enabling the bowels to move and eliminate toxins. If you are suffering from constipation, toxins from the liver and gallbladder do not leave the body, but instead are reabsorbed.
This is especially important if you’ve had your gallbladder removed, since it supports healthy bile flow. To activate the parasympathetic system for fertility, simply apply a drop behind the earlobe (behind the earlobe on the mastoid bone) before meals to help your body enter a calm, restorative “rest and digest” state.
Adrenal®: Calming Stress to Protect Progesterone
Your adrenal glands are your stress regulators. When stress is high, the body prioritizes cortisol production over other hormones—including progesterone, which is essential for fertility.
Adrenal® blend supports optimal adrenal function and promotes balanced hormone production. Your adrenal glands help determine and regulate your body’s stress response by secreting the stress hormone cortisol, which, like progesterone, requires the precursor ingredient pregnenolone. Since the body prioritizes the stress response over all other bodily functions, it is important to down-regulate the need for cortisol in order to increase the supply of progesterone and balance your hormones.
Adrenal® helps downshift this stress response so your body doesn’t steal resources away from progesterone. Apply it over the adrenal glands (mid-back, one fist above the 12th rib) to support resilience and restore balance.
Hypothalamus™: The Brain’s Hormone Command Center
Think of the hypothalamus as the “conductor” of your hormonal orchestra. This pearl-sized gland in your brain serves as the control center for the entire endocrine system, encompassing all your hormones, adrenal glands, and reproductive system. The hypothalamus determines how much cortisol is in the blood, so balancing the hypothalamus can help manage cortisol spikes.
When it’s off balance, your entire endocrine system can struggle. Hypothalamus™ helps recalibrate this control center so messages between your brain and body flow smoothly. The Hypothalamus™ blend supports optimal hypothalamic function, ensuring that the brain can send and receive the necessary messages from the body to facilitate appropriate hormonal responses. More specifically, Hypothalamus™ contains Frankincense, which is known topromote relaxation and help balance hormones.
Apply a small drop to the “third eye” (mid-forehead) to support clear hormonal communication.
Liver™: Balancing and Clearing Hormones
Your liver not only breaks down old hormones, especially estrogen, after they’ve served their purpose in the body. It also produces cholesterol, the building block for hormone creation. An optimally functioning liver ensures that these hormones don’t accumulate to unhealthy levels.
When the liver is congested, both hormone production and detoxification can suffer.
Liver™ helps maintain optimal liver vitality and support its natural capacity to support hormonal balance so your body can naturally balance estrogen, progesterone, and other hormones.
Liver™ contains Lavender, which is widely used for stress relief and promoting relaxation. Since stress can negatively impact fertility, creating a calmer state with lavender may be helpful. Liver™ also contains Ylang Ylang, which is thought to balance hormones and act as an aphrodisiac, potentially helping to reduce stress and boost libido.
To help support the body’s drainage pathways and eliminate old hormones to enhance hormone balance for fertility, apply directly over the liver (on the right side of the body, under the breast).
Gallbladder™: Supporting Hormone Detoxification
Your gallbladder plays a vital role in fertility. It helps eliminate excess hormones, especially estrogen, and substances that impair hormone balance from the body. When bile becomes too thick, hormone detox slows down—leading to imbalances that may interfere with reproductive health. A sluggish drainage system can lead to the recirculation of hormones like estrogen, disrupting the endocrine system and causing imbalances.
Gallbladder™ supports healthy bile flow so your body can efficiently clear metabolized hormones. Gallbladder™ blend supports optimal gallbladder function and promotes healthy bile flow to support natural elimination of metabolized hormones.
Apply it on the right side of the body, just under the breast, to encourage gallbladder wellness.
Fertility is about more than reproductive organs—it’s about whole-body wellness. By supporting your nervous system, adrenals, brain, liver, and gallbladder, the Fertility Support Kit helps bring your body back into balance, allowing it to prioritize reproductive health.
If you’re looking for a natural way to support your fertility journey, this kit offers a simple, effective daily practice to bring your body into alignment.
