sweetkisses, Lavender oil can be skin irritant.
I use it everyday, one of my fav, but only for its aroma.

Thats a good link Pom! I want massage with lavender oil anymore if this is true..


Research also indicates that other components of lavender, specifically linalool, can be cytotoxic, meaning that topical application causes skin-cell death (Source: Cell Proliferation, June 2004, pages 221–229). Lavender leaves contain camphor, which is known as a skin irritant. Because the fragrance constituents in lavender oil oxidize when exposed to air, lavender oil pro-oxidant. This enhanced oxidation also increases its irritancy on skin (Source: Contact Dermatitis, September 2008, pages 143–150). Lavender oil is the most potent form, and even small amounts of it (0.25% or less) can be problematic. It is a must to avoid in skin-care products, but is fine used as an aromatherapy agent for inhalation or relaxation (Source: Psychiatry Research, February 2007, pages 89–96; and www.naturaldatabase.com).

I used to massage with Lavender oil, and for a while I did not feel good about it although I loved and still love the scent, and then later on I came across an article that it is actually not good for skin! My intuition rarely is wrong. POM

I feel it's ok if you add a drop or so for aroma in a massage oil based on olive or flax seeds oil, but not as the main oil.

I believe this applies to all essential oils isn't it Pom?
Use with caution , say a few drops diluted in a carrier oil for massage etc?

Not all, but yes you have to be careful with any 100% pure essential oil. Once I put 100% pure Eucalyptus on my skin for breathing which is mainly in Vicks Rub for cold and it really irritated my skin, so next time I put a little and spread it, and it was fine. another one that was too strong for me was Myrrh, but Frankincense one of my fav is fine. So it all depends on the type of oil. I say for the main massage oil, we should not use 100% essential oils, except for their aromas only drops.

thats a good link pom! thank you, I feel like you know so much about all this natural stuff

hannah, if your breast feel deflated it could be because you switched from flax to coconut, flax has natural phytoestrogens and can be absorbed through the skin into the blood stream. Now your body is lacking the estrogen effect caused by flax-- could be why

Thats a good theory thank you for thinking along girl But I dont use flax for about 3-4 months now and It just started this week. I also started to upping my dose of fenugreek to about 1600MG. And I think that could be it?*opinions are welcome* Maybe the upping in prolactin..
I'm sometimes so tired of this difficult jigsaw puzzle.

Hannah, didn't start PC recently? If yes, then either do not take any FG or just about 600mg. Breast needs progestrone.

I would take one cap/day only plus PC and watch your body to see how it reacts. You may not even need FG. You know I truly believe in the less the better.
