Is Lavender Estrogenic?

Deep dive into this myth

Every now and then I’ll come across a comment saying lavender is estrogenic, or that it is an endocrine disrupter, or I have even seen people suggesting lavender contains estrogen. I’ve done a deep literature search on this topic and I’ll be discussing how this myth got started and whether or not it is something you need to be worried about. I’ll also be covering the effects when taken orally, used topically, and when inhaled to provide a full scope of the potential paths of action.
