Kings were buried with jars filled with lavender, while queens doused themselves in the perfume of this languid aroma. The ancient Greeks anointed their feet and breasts with lavender essential oil's leisurely scent. Lords and ladies of the Medieval English court put a drop of Lavender in their tea to calm a busy mind, and the French have been sweetening their skin with Lavender Essential Oil since the 16th century. Europeans enjoy employing lavender to linens before bed baths; a few drops of Lavender in a steaming hot bath will whisk you away to cloud nine faster than you can say \"Ahhhhh.\" \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuestion: Is Lavender Essential Oil Estrogenic? \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnswer: The concern regarding lavender essential oil's potential estrogenic effects originated from a 2007 in vitro (petri dish) study by Henley that suggested a weak estrogenic action. However, this report faced significant criticism for its methodology and the inability to extrapolate in vitro results to human response, especially given the presence of other unmeasured ingredients in the tested products. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMore robust research conducted in 2013, applying lavender oil directly to rat skin (a benchmark testing method called uterotrophic assay), provided crucial clarity. This study used concentrations of 4% and 20%, representing exposure levels 6,000 to 1,000,000 times greater than typical human cosmetic use. This comprehensive research concluded that \u003cstrong\u003elavender essential oil exhibited no estrogenic action.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFurthermore, published case studies, while valuable as reports, are not rigorous research due to their lack of control groups, the numerous variables, and the inability to measure exposure or outcomes. These reports often involve individuals using \"lavender-fragranced products\" (not genuinely pure essential oil), and fail to address critical questions regarding the quality or quantity of lavender, the presence of other endocrine-disrupting chemicals, or the influence of plastic containers. A 2019 case study in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism even concluded that it is \"unknown\" whether lavender oil's estrogenic potency (if any) is sufficient to cause such effects. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSupporting these findings, a 2014 study examining oral lavender oil (Silexan) for anxiety found it did not affect the efficacy of hormone-based birth control. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eConsidering the newest published research indicates lavender essential oil is not estrogenic, its thousands of years of historical use, the robust global market for lavender oil (with billions in annual sales), and remarkably few reported medical issues, we view it as a lovely and soothing option in self-care.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLiving Libations offers a classic quintet of captivating Lavender varieties.
