Does Tea Tree oil / shampoo give you gyno?

I've started using a regimen which has been very successful for me and the best part is it doesn't include Minoxidil or Finasteride. I've read that tea tree and Lavender caused some young boys to grow breasts. However I don't use Lavender, and another factor which makes me think that this may not affect me is that my testosterone levels are obviously much higher than a preteen's. I've been using tea tree oil in my concoction and tea tree shampoo and have been getting some awesome results. I am still worried though that I might get gyno because of this, has anyone had any bad experiences with tea tree minus the lavender?

There is no way it can give you gyno.

The main reason is it doesn't affect DHT or estrogen/testosterone levels. It has no benefit as a hair loss treatment.

Is he wrong about the gyno? because I know he's wrong about it not affecting the hair. I have found Tea Tree shampoo to be much much better than Nizoral shampoo.

TTO blocks the androgen receptor.

It also has anti- inflammatory properties which are beneficial for Androgenetic Alopecia.

I use TTO as part of a home made topical with other essential oils. Ive also found TTO shampoo to be effective.

There is a poster by the name of Malibu Joe who had sides from TTO shampoo but if i remember correctly was using it 4x day. You could find the thread if you do a search.

Id recommend you use the search function and read what veteran posters like Michael Barry, Old baldy, Bryan etc have posted on the subject.
