Candles & Fertility
When the weather is changing, candles can be a special way to create a cozy, warm ambience. Unfortunately, studies find that most scented candles can cause considerable indoor air pollution. The majority of these products have been found to produce significant levels of formaldehyde, a known ‘human carcinogen’ linked with cancers. Candles and air fresheners also contain toxic chemicals such as phthalates and paraffin.

Bisphenols are chemicals used to manufacture plastics and epoxy resins used in canned goods.

But what most people don’t realize is how electromagnetic fields may influence reproductive health. Some research has reported associations between EMF exposure and lower sperm counts, hormonal changes, miscarriage risk, and changes in brain and heart function, although the evidence continues to evolve. In this article, we’ll break down the science, what it actually means for your fertility, and the practical steps you can take today to reduce your exposure.
Can PRP Make You Fertile?
Ovarian PRP is an innovative treatment being studied for its potential to support ovarian and uterine health in women over 40 facing fertility challenges. Early research suggests it may help support egg quality, cycle regularity, and IVF outcomes in some cases.
