Guest guest Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 Well the caveat section answered it for me. The reference to paucity of clinical evidence. This was tested on cancerous breast cells. It's a stretch to make that the " cause " of this problem in young boys. Also, tea tree and lavender products may contain none of the essential oil at all, as there are fragrance oils that can be used and the product will still be labeled Tea Tree scented.I would also suspect that the products in question contain numerous other ingredients that could have been the offenders. The Caveat Steven Dentali, vice president of scientific and technical affairs for the American Herbal Products Association, a trade group, said it's premature to worry, given the paucity of clinical evidence and many questions that the lab work left unanswered.--- In , " Kelly Beers " <beerfarm wrote: > > This was posted on another list I'm on and I confirmed that it indeed was written (not an urban legend).

Guest guest Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 This article must be considered as scientific fiction until it has been published and can be scrutinized. All that was reported was in a newspaper article and everyone should know what those comics are like for twisting and distorting the truth. This report may or may not have some relevance to the use of these oils, but I want to know a heck of a lot more before drawing any conclusions. The article is from:Monday, July 10, 2006 JEFFREY G.

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 I think it could probably be one of the factors, but if the use of lavender and tea tree oils do that...Clinically then they should also stop the opposite affect on women who have declining estrogen during perimenopause etc, but I think that it has a lot to do with the sensitivity of the individuals. On the off chance that it does influence gynecomastia, then that gives a new twist to some bad marketing (breast enlargement creams and stuff) Jennifer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 Hi Kelly, Thanks for sending that along. Interesting and kinda wacky! I agree with Martin 100% here. Who knows what's actually going on until we hear more about this (if we ever do). Ya know, one would think that if 5 boys in the Denver area alone had this issue (Denver ain't that big, and its not like its the lavender scented shampoo using capital of the world), we'd be hearing a lot more about it from around the country. We know how much attention herbs and all get when they do something screwy to even one person (unlike the FDA approved pharmaceutical concoctions that can kill hundreds and thousands before we hear any word about them being a problem). I would seriously think that a shampoo that promotes the growth of breasts would certainly get a LOT attention in our boob obsessed culture, for a variety of reasons! *lol* *Smile* Chris (list mom - who hopes that using lavender oil in my little 3 & 6 yr old boys' shampoo doesn't turn on the gene in them that gave me DD boobs! *lol*) http://www.alittleolfactory.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ aromamedical2003 This article must be considered as scientific fiction until it has been published and can be scrutinized.

Guest guest Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 I agree. Also, what was interesting is that they mentioned they had tested the " oils " and not the products containing the " oils. " They also fail to mention the demographics of the boys tested or how many boys were tested. It really doesn't take much for someone to call themselves a scientist form a group and conduct a test. There are so many tests that are performed and a large percentage of them carried out incorrectly, especially when it involves a field that the testers know little or nothing about (i.e., aromatherapy). Here we have the scientists testing " lavender and tea tree oils. " That can mean anything because there are numerous lavender and tea tree oils out on the market that could contain only God knows what. I had a lavender fragrance oil once someone gave me a while back and it smelled nothing like lavender.
