I'm very interested in EOs, currently for endotoxin (therefore digestion) . I'm concerned about the estrogen issue and it would be good to put our heads together to get clarity on a safe list, but going by symptoms, my experiences with oregano and orange oil suggest they're not affecting me that way. Orange totally sorted sinus by the way, and I had a great sense of well being. I'm ordering organic next time. I'll take orally because of the gut benefits but may try nebulizing too.
Re lavender, I think it was on One Radio Network 20/1/2020, Peat said it is endocrine disrupting even in small quantities and can cause hermaphroditism. Shocking for an oil often described as very safe. I used it for years and did not know this so maybe even while pregnant. I also love peppermint for cooling effects in lip balm and skin sprays but pretty sure they're known to be estrogenic.
It’s shocking that Peat repeats this untrue myth originating from a faulty observation of an MD.
Robert Tisserand and others have debunked this myth concludently. It shows only one thing, that Peat is completely clueless in regards to terpenes and terpenoids.
