You may have never heard of the term preconceptually. It describes the time before fertilization. It is recommended to prepare your body for a pregnancy as it needs more vitamins, iron, and folic acid right from the beginning. Folic acid is important for a proper development of the fetal spine. It is recommended to start three month before trying to become pregnant with folic acid complements. Talk to your midwife, family doctor or obstetrician about it.
In average it takes about a year to become pregnant. Medical clarifications are recommended after one year of having unprotected sex. Aromatherapy can be used as a mental support especially in the situation where a woman tries to get pregnant but fails.
Infertility increases. One reason is that many couples are delaying starting a family. But there are many other unknown and unalterable reasons. Not being able to get pregnant is profoundly stressful, not only mentally but also financially. The higher amount of stress is not helpful to get pregnant. Stress and diet is playing a huge part of the hormone balances and there are at least 8 hormones involved in conception (acc. Worwood, V. A.; 2016 p. 222). Some essential oils are thought to have photohormonal properties. Other essential oils are known to reduce stress and anxiety.
Valerie Ann Worwood recommend the following essential oils to help if female fertility occurs:
Cypress
Greanium
Clary Sage
Melissa
Rose Maroc
Rose otto
Chamomile Roman
Ylang Ylang
Coriander Seed
Cardamon
Franckincense
Sandalwood
Ginger
Chamomile German
Lemon
Whatever essential oils are the best for you depends on your health history and other surrounding factors. Also the method of application depends on your personal needs. Worwood recommends to massage the lower back, hips as well as the whole abdomen.
After participate the aroma massage course at Joyessence during the last week I highly recommend a aroma whole body massage with a personal blend. The advantages are that you get a personalized blend, due to the massage you benefit from the properties of the essential oils and you have a full hour of relaxation! For more information about the aroma massage please contact me directly.
Additionally to the medical clarifications and the aromatherapy I recommend to use other various complementary medicine in example naturopathy, nutritional therapy, homeopathy or acupuncture.
