Remember that many plants have a phyto-estrogen reaction within the body. After a plant derived oil used on the skin will cause estrogen like reactions within the body. If you are estrogen dominant or temporarily have too mush estrogen in your body, these can and do raise the levels. All estrogen is made is released from your liver. Keep it clean and healthy and hormonal levels will sort themselves out.

Overview

Aromatherapy is the use of essential oils from plants (flowers, herbs, or trees) as therapy to improve physical, mental, and spiritual well-being (see Question 1).

Aromatherapy may be used with other complementary treatments as well as with standard treatments to manage symptoms (see Question 1).

Essential oils are most often used by inhaling them or by applying a diluted form of them to the skin (see Question 2).

Aromatherapy research with cancer patients has studied the effect of essential oils on anxiety, nausea, vomiting, and other health-related conditions (see Question 4).

Safety testing on essential oils has found very few side effects. Lavender and tea tree essential oils have been found to have some hormone -like effects (see Question 5).

Aromatherapy products do not need approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) (see Question 6).
