apparently: "The lavender and tea tree oils found in some soaps, shampoos, hair gels and body lotions can produce enlarged breasts in boys, researchers report."
the poor kid! "4-year-old "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 it on his chest and body every night" because lavender, in complementary medicine circles, is said to have healing properties.
Several months after the boy stopped getting the 'healing balm', his breasts returned to normal."
the article says that apparently lavender has some similar qualities to female hormones... weird!
