Essential Oils Linked to Breast Growth in Some Boys

Ooer!
Seems, if it is the oils, that it only affects a small percentage of boys, but I'll certainly bear it in mind.

Surely they would have to have used a lot of it.

this is the third thread on this tonight !@

it is a rare condition and has been linked to these oils in a tiny handful of cases

This is sensationalist.

3 boys with man-boobs of unexplained cause.
They then tested the the 2 oils together to see if they affected oestrogen and testosterone on cells in the lab. Which they did. As many other chemicals probably would. Cells are not boys. And 3 is a tiny sample number, so I don't think you need to worry. Plenty of other stuff to worry about.

Although - that's an idea - it would be cheaper than a boob-job - just rub on the oils and: Bingo! Anyone seen this effect with their lavendar and tea tree Radox?
Now there's an idea to make lots of money...

I think this is crap as well.

Barefoot 'Boots report record sales of Lavender and Teatree oil following 'bigger boobs' report.

Lulu - I did check the headline titles before posting and didn't see any others.
Must be missing something?

Oh come on maisiemog - don't act so innocent - you started one of the other threads yourself!
see here

Oh right! I thought Lulu meant on the 'news' bit of Mumsnet.
Are you not allowed to start another thread in a different area??
Am I in trouble? [runs away.......]

(hugs maisie and offers her a flapjack!)

'ello 'ello 'ello. WPC barefoot plods off for lavendar and tea tree bath with boobs swinging low....

[Flapjack munching noises from lavender scented bathtub]

Coincidentally, I just re-ordered 50mL of both oils today.

Supplies were running low.

Does it appear to perk up saggy boobs as well?
