Two types of essential oils make the breasts unusually large

Lavender and tea tree oil contain substances that mimic female hormones that make the breasts unusually large.

Big, attractive breasts can be a dream for many women but a nightmare for men. You may fall into that situation if you abuse essential oils. The consequences are more pronounced when exposed from childhood.

Research by the National Institute of Health and Environment Science (US) shows that some essential oils made into cosmetics may cause men to experience abnormalities in breast development. In particular, their breasts will be bigger and have a silhouette like a woman's breasts.

Some essential oils made into cosmetics may cause men to experience abnormalities in breast development.

According to J Tyler Ramsey, head of research, essential oils are often present in soap, cleaning products, cosmetics. With lavender and melaleuca essential oils (melaleuca, also known as Australian and Melaleuca tea trees), they can possess substances that act to "mimic" the female hormone estrogen and prevent hormonal activity. male. If users are boys, they will interfere with the process of changing the body and cause the baby to have prepubertal gynecomastia, which means the breast grows as big as a woman.

These substances also affect men more or less. Now scientists have not studied carefully how it affects but certainly not as strong as in boys.

The good news is that many teens after being discovered and asked to stop using soap with essential oils, breast abnormalities are significantly improved. However, this does not mean you can disregard the harm. Scientists are still studying the long-term effects of this exposure.

This result is given after the analysis process of 8 groups of different pharmaceuticals and cosmetics containing essential oils. Lavender and melaleuca essential oils are clearly harmful. Meanwhile, 65 other essential oils are also included in the suspect list because they contain similar chemicals.

According to research published at the ENDO 2018 scientific conference in Chicago - USA, the biggest danger is that oil is currently being abused because it is thought that they are completely natural and safe. Professor Ieuan Hughes, a member of the UK Endocrinology Association, commented that the study confirmed the reasons for abnormal breast tissue development after using essential oils regularly.
