Is it true that tea tree products can cause man boobs to grow?

That is absolutely false. Tea tree shampoo will not spike your body with estrogen or alter your hormones.

I read in Men’s Health that all the men who have had a sudden growth of breast tissue, or gynocomastia, were all using products containing tea tree oil or lavender oil. That’s because those two oils cause your estrogen to rise. You don’t have to stop using the product because not all men have this effect BUT… if you do notice a chance in your body, all you have to do is stop using the product and the effects should go away in a few days as your hormones balance out.

I have never heard of this, never. Paul Mitchell Tea Tree shampoo is great. I’d cast away those silly wives tails.

Ahaha!!

Talk about a wives tale…Of a husband’s tale.

If it starts happening, stop using it. If not, then keep on enjoying that shampoo.
