Essential Oils For Male Fertility
Essential oils are volatile meaning that they can easily evaporate. Most essential oils are best diluted in a carrier oil before application to the skin, yet they can also be diffused into the air and breathed in. Essential oils are commonly used for relaxation, stress relief and for many other applications, such as during a massage and pain relief among others. They’re perceived to have an effeminate or unmanly connotation, but can positively impact overall male health and male fertility health.
If you’re concerned about fertility health, you should know to eat a nutrient-dense diet first and foremost, limit or avoid exposure to toxins, manage stress, and exercise regularly. No smoking, limit caffeine and alcohol intake, and make sure you are getting adequate amounts of zinc for hormone balance.
