Hello.
Did anyone see the article on the BBC news site (bbc.co.uk) yesterday, entitled "Oils make male breasts develop"? Specifically they were talking about Lavender and Tea Tree oils and saying that "using lavender and tea tree oil products can cause young boys to develop breast tissue (the condition is called Gynaecomastia)" .
Has anyone heard of this before? The article states that some "tests were carried out which indicated that pure lavender and tea tree oils could mimic the actions of female hormones and inhibit the effects of male hormones, and therefore could disrupt the endocrine system in the body".
I think the article is certainly worth a read and I would appreciate any comments or knowledge that others may have on this.
Love and light
