If you are trying to conceive naturally and find that it isn’t happening quickly you may be feeling a little anxious. Would you be happy if there was a way to lower your anxiety symptoms and increase your fertility? There is – aromatherapy.Aromatherapy is growing more and more popular and for a good reason. It’s simple and non-invasive. You use essential oils, which are distilled and purified from various plants. Aromatherapy is simple to use at home and very safe. Just remember never to take essential oils internally.
There are several oils that are reported to help increase fertility. The first is Clary sage, a golden yellow oil. This earthy oil is said to help calm nerves and reduce stress. It is also considered to have aphrodisiac properties. Rubbed into the skin over the reproductive organs it is said to help balance oestrogen levels and remedy infertility.
Rose essential oil is another great choice to increase fertility. It has a pleasing, soothing scent. Like Clary sage, it is said to have aphrodisiac properties. Rose is excellent for enhancing both male and female fertility. Have your man take warm (not hot) baths with several drops of rose oil in the water. You can do the same. This will increase sperm count in him and help enhance reproductive health in you.

Rosemary was traditionally woven into bridal headdresses because it was believed to grant fertility to young brides. The essential oil of rosemary is also seen to have fertility enhancing properties. Rosemary oil, diluted in gentle carrier oil, can be rubbed between the hip bones to help sooth inflammation in reproductive organs, or to help open blockages. Men may also find this helps.
Finally the versatile and ever pleasing lavender oil is useful for increasing fertility. Lavender is soothing and has slight aphrodisiac effects, both of which help to make lovemaking more pleasurable. This pleasure allows for the right temperature, lubrication, and alkalinity for conception to be present in the body. Lavender oil is wonderful equalising oil and is gentle enough to be used right on the skin or as carrier oil for drops of other fertility enhancers.
Exploring aromatherapy for fertility enhancement is just plain fun. You will love to surround yourself with the luscious and pleasing scents. Cool oils also feel good rubbed into your skin. The relaxing properties of oils will help ease your mind, and of course aphrodisiac effects will help the baby-making events happen a little easier.

Are essential oils safe to use when trying to conceive?
Essential oils are generally considered safe for external use when diluted properly in a carrier oil, but you should never take them internally. If you're undergoing NHS fertility treatment or taking medication, it's always wise to speak with your GP or fertility specialist before incorporating aromatherapy into your routine, as some oils may interact with treatments.

Can aromatherapy really help with fertility?
While there's limited clinical evidence to support aromatherapy as a fertility treatment, many couples find it helpful for reducing stress and anxiety during their TTC journey. Since stress can affect hormone balance and ovulation, the relaxation benefits of oils like lavender and clary sage may indirectly support your conception efforts. The NHS recognises that 1 in 7 UK couples experience fertility issues, and complementary therapies can be a useful addition to conventional approaches.
Which essential oils are best for boosting fertility naturally?
Clary sage, rose, rosemary, and lavender are among the most popular essential oils traditionally associated with fertility support. Clary sage is believed to help balance oestrogen levels, whilst rose oil is said to benefit both male and female reproductive health. Always dilute these oils in a carrier oil before applying to the skin.

ove his sperm health?
Some aromatherapists suggest that men can benefit from using rose and rosemary essential oils to support reproductive health. Adding a few drops of rose oil to a warm (not hot) bath may help, as excessive heat can affect sperm quality. However, if you've been trying for 12 months without success, the NHS recommends both partners see their GP for fertility investigations.
Should I tell my GP I'm using aromatherapy while waiting for NHS fertility treatment?
Yes, it's always best to be open with your GP or fertility clinic about any complementary therapies you're using, including essential oils. This helps ensure there are no interactions with any prescribed medications or treatments. Your healthcare team can advise you on what's safe to continue during fertility investigations or IVF cycles.
How do I use essential oils safely when trying to get pregnant?
Always dilute essential oils in a carrier oil such as sweet almond or coconut oil before applying to your skin, and never use them internally. Conduct a patch test first to check for any allergic reactions. If you become pregnant, consult your midwife before continuing use, as some oils are not recommended during pregnancy.
Can aromatherapy help reduce stress while going through fertility treatment?
Many couples find aromatherapy helpful for managing the emotional strain of fertility treatment, whether funded by their CCG or undertaken privately. Oils like lavender are well-known for their calming properties and can be used in diffusers, baths, or massage. NICE guidelines acknowledge the importance of emotional support during fertility treatment, and relaxation techniques may complement your overall care plan.
