Lavender and Tea Tree compared to flutamide in study, chart

[oyo]

If you look at the lavender chart................you will see that when .01 nM of lavender was cultivated with DHT, the inhibition of DHT was equal to that of on pM of pure flutamide, indicating that lavender can (at a higher concentraion, but still very little of it as a substance) inhibit the androgen receptor equal to flutamide. It took MORE of tea tree to get the inhibition of the androgen receptor down to flutamide levels (and indeed it never got all the way down to flutamide levels, but it got fairly close).

I wonder if topical lavender (again) would have bad side effects though........

michael, just found this thread. Actually, I have been using lavender oil mixed with my homemade herbal oil (the one I posted on other forum) pretty consistently for 3-4 months now. I have absolutely no side effects whatsoever! Plus my scalp itching is gone (along with redness) and my scalp is considerably less oily.

I just add 4-5 drops of organic lavender essential oil in about 1 tea spoon of oil, and apply it an hour or two before going to bed and leave it on all night.
