Tea tree & Lavander New Discovery!

Hello everyone, my name is Kate Im a member of the forum but I rarely post anything. But today I thought I would share with all of the wonderful ladies of this forum, some interesting information I found regarding NBE. Yesterday I was watching a Spanish channel on TV and they had a report on how some males developed female breasts while using a shampoo that contained lavender and tea tree. According to the report those plants mimic female estrogen and as results men were getting female breasts with the use of the shampoo. I went on the internet and searched for lavender and tee tree and here is what I found:
Lavender oil
Lavender oil has recently been implicated in gynecomastia, the abnormal development of breasts in young boys. Denver endocrinologist Clifford Bloch discovered the link after several boys presented with enlarged breasts. Subsequently, Derek Henley and Kenneth Korach of the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences in Research Triangle Park, N.C., discovered in lavender and Tea Tree Oil (Melaleuca Oil) the presence of compounds which both suppress male hormones and mimic female hormones.
Because sex hormone levels are normally low prior to puberty, young boys and girls are particularly sensitive to estrogenic and androgenic compounds. The discovery of the gynecomastia link in boys has led some researchers to suspect lavender and tea tree oils, which are present in various personal care products including shampoos and lotions, may also contribute to the increased incidence of early breast development in girls.
Tea tree oil (melaleuca oil)
According to a July 4, 2006 article in the Washington Post, "A preliminary finding presented at the Endocrine Society's conference last month . . . suggests that shampoos, soaps and body lotions containing . . . tea tree oils -- commonly added for their aromas and marketing cachet -- may cause hormonal imbalances, and breast growth in young boys."
This information is very new to me I had never heard of that before and it is really interesting. I was thinking that if lavander and tea tree have those effects in males it could ceretainly work for women too, dont you all think so? Anyway I'm going to continue to do reseach on this topic before I try anything new in my routine.

I heard any effects of the gynecomastia go away after use of the oils are discontinued.

They had a story on the local news last night about this and I wondered the same thing. So far I haven't seen anything about it benefiting women though, but I haven't really had time to really research it good and heavy either. Let us know what you find out.

This story does validate NBE doesn't it? It's the stimulation of natural breast growth and the story's gone worldwide.
