Lavendar causes breast enlargement

Lavender and tea tree oils found in some soaps, shampoos, hair gels and body lotions can produce enlarged breasts in men, researchers report.

These plant oils were linked to abnormal breast development of three, which was reversed when they stopped using them, writes Dr. Clifford Bloch of Pediatric Endocrine Associates in Colorado, and colleagues.

They say their study, published today in the New England Journal of Medicine, suggested these oils can act like the hormone estrogen.
“This report raises an issue of concern, since lavender oil and tea tree oil are sold freely in its” pure “and are present in an increasing number of commercial products, including shampoos, gels hair, soaps and body lotions, “write the researchers.

“Whether we get similar oils endocrine disruptors in prepubertal girls, adolescent girls or women is not known.”
While it is very common for children to develop temporary breast enlargement as they reach puberty, the condition is very rare in young children.

Doctors call the condition of prepubertal gynecomastia, and often find no explanation for it.

The researchers found that the condition of three healthy children, aged 4, 7 and 10.
“I found it because it gave me a clue by a patient,” says Bloch.
That case involved 4 years of age, “who was using absolutely nothing on his skin except a lavender oil preparation that his mother had obtained from a homeopath. She used to rub on his chest and body every night” because the lavender, in complementary medicine circles, is said to have healing properties.

Several months after the boy stopped getting the “balm”, his breasts returned to normal.
Meanwhile, Bloch began to see lavender crop in other cases, including the 10-year-old, who was using a hair styling gel and shampoo that contained both lavender oil and tea tree oil.

There was also a 7-year-old, who had been using lavender-scented soap and skin lotions.
In laboratory tests, scientists at the U.S. National Institute Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) found that both substances can mimic the action of the female hormone estrogen.
