Lavender and Tea Tree are Hormone-Friendly oils
I hear it often in my Facebook Group and from current customers:
“Don’t Lavender and Tea Tree essential oils disrupt hormones?”
The answer is…actually, no!
Everything I have researched and many seasoned professionals have told me: This is not something you should be concerned about! I have heard my share of essential oil myths online and I spend a great deal of time looking into them, ensuring that I help my customers find the best and most valuable information on whether claims are true and what the specifics are.
In the case of the endocrine-disruption question, I strongly agree with this quote from Earth Mama Organics: “Despite the lack of a large-scale study group, controls and the usual scientific practices, the study was published and spread widely on the internet.”
I also want to reference this quote from Robert Tisserand: “Since 2007 there have been many warnings about lavender and tea tree oils that relate back to this study. Others, including myself, have suggested that such cautions are unnecessary and premature.”
