Recently I have had several clients ask me about EO's during breastfeeding. The latest specifically asked about topical lavender applied to her breast as part of treatment for mastitis. She also asked about Tea Tree oil, but had not mentioned how it was being used. I have referred her to her physician and suggested it may not be an appropriate treatment as I am personally very hesitant to see any benefit, but I wanted to see if there was any evidence to support my hesitation.
Thank you in advance.
