oh lavender again....

[mis2ninos]

so I went out and bought a cartful of lavender products. I'm talking the body wash, bubble bath, essential oil, handsoap, lotion, candles, the works. I don't like the smell of it but I thought every little bit helps so why not. I don't understand why lavender helps a sway...is it ions or ph or lowers t levels? also when I tried to google why I came across a post that says it raises estrogen and therefore sways boy??

I think people use it for the ions, but I don't buy into it. I think best case scenario it really helps with relaxation. We all need a little relaxation and pampering, right? Enjoy!

I personally don't think it does anything at all. Supposedly there is something with the ions and possibly aromatherapy might help you relax and lower T.

the prob. with lotions and potions is that some of them do contain the phthalates and parabens that may increase estrogen and may actually be harmful to health.

None of this stuff has been proven to sway gender.

So, there ya go.

So if it raised estrogen would that sway boy then?

I wouldn't go as far as that. Even if it does sway boy it's only a small amount you'll be using. Thinking eating meat would sway boy more! Can't sway boy a huge amount. Using for r&r certainly can't hurt.

That's what one theory says - higher E sways blue. But honestly, we don't know.


Really, I wouldn't worry about it either way. People are glopping lotions on themselves all day long and having both boys and girls. I seriously doubt that any of this extraneous stuff makes any difference whatsoever.
