Link Between Essential Oils and Male Breasts

link between essential oils and male breastsI saw this headline on the BBC today and had a complete freakout: More evidence essential oils ‘make male breasts develop.’

Essential oils seem to be all the rage and I use them myself. I make an inhaler of my favorite essential oils (i.e., eucalyptus, lavender) and breathe them in a few times a day. I find it very relaxing. It’s like a momentary vacation at my desk.

But I’ve also used lavender on Franco—not directly, but lavender oil is in his bubble bath! When I read the article that lavender and tea tree oils may cause breast growth in young boys, I felt sick.

I did further research and found this article from 2007 indicating the same link. That was 11 years ago and I’m only becoming aware of this now? Complete shock.
