Essential Oils are Hormone Disruptors!!!
I have been pretty tolerant of the essential oil/ion crap but lavender oil is disrupting hormones and making boys grow breast tissues. This can't be good for a person planning a pregnancy. Are Essential Oils Safe? | Time
Proceed with EXTREME caution, if you MUST use them, stop at ovulation and do not continue using them in pregnancy. Don't use them on your kids or your husband. And be aware that just because something seems harmless, doesn't mean it is.
It doesn't matter on some of these things if they sway pink, blue, or plaid, they mess you up. We don't know the long term effects of any of them and I can promise, since people were getting baby boys and baby girls long before the invention of essential oils, they are not prerequisites for getting a baby boy or girl.

I don’t know the answer about the lavender products, I don’t know if anyone really knows the answers because the research is not all there. There are so many ways people are using these oils, drinking them in tea, inhaling concentrating doses, but a drop of diluted essential oil here and there is not likely to affect your hormones, in my opinion.
