At the Tisserand Institute we believe that essential oils can do many wonderful things, but their proclaimed benefits should be rooted in solid science. The second series of myths busted are ones that talk about the powers (or lack of thereof) of individual essential oils:
The “Frankincense is the best essential oil to use for cancer” myth – busted HERE
The “Lavender and Tea tree will make your toddlers grow breasts” myth – busted HERE and HERE
The “Lavender oil is a skin irritant” myth – busted HERE
The “putting essential oils in your eyes will help your eyesight” myth – busted HERE
Stay tuned for more mythbusting!
