Essentail oils may spur breasts in boys
Repeated use of lotions, soaps and shampoos containing high concentrations of lavender or tea tree oil may lead to breast growth in pre-pubescent boys, according to the US National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences.
Pure lavender and tea tree oils can mimic the actions of oestrogen and inhibit the effects of androgen, the hormone known to control masculine characteristics, says Dr Derek Henley, one of the study's lead researchers. "If you use these products on your child and you see changes in his body, talk to your doctor or paediatrician," says Henley. At this stage, doctors are still to determine how much exposure causes problems.

So I'm thinking we pour this sh*t on our heads. What do you think about spiking Nizoral with a few drops of tea tree oil?
