The harm of essential oils in clearing meridians

When doing meridian-opening massage, many people will choose some auxiliary objects, such as using essential oils for massage, which has the effect of opening the meridians, but at the same time, we must also understand the dangers of essential oils in opening the meridians. Essential oils are called plant hormones that can regulate the human endocrine system, but if used for a long time, it will disrupt the estrogen level in the body, especially causing adverse effects on female breasts.

With the popularity of SPA and the hot sales in beauty salons, essential oils are becoming more and more familiar to women who love beauty. Rose essential oil, fruit essential oil, flower essential oil, and the myriad of aromatic essential oils are dazzling. However, behind the charming fragrance, essential oil is actually a very dangerous cosmetic and is not suitable for everyone.

Plant essential oils are known as "plant hormones". The small molecule structure of many of these essential oils is similar to human hormones, and their use can increase hormone levels in the human body. Occasional use of essential oils will not cause direct harm to the body, but long-term use in large doses will increase estrogen levels in the body and affect breast health. The occurrence of breast cancer is closely related to endocrine disorders in the human body. Among various endocrine factors, estrogen level is the most important indicator. An absolute or relative increase in estrogen level will increase the risk of breast cancer.

In order to relax their body and mind, many women choose to go to a beauty salon for an essential oil massage. The author visited some beauty salons or foot massage parlors in Nanjing and found that many of them provide essential oil back massage or essential oil massage services. From full-body essential oil SPA to local body massage, it can open up meridians, relax muscles and activate blood circulation, and is even claimed to have effects such as breast enhancement.

It is an exaggeration and even extremely harmful for beauty salons to boast that essential oils have a therapeutic effect on breast hyperplasia. Not only does it have no therapeutic effect, it can also aggravate lobular hyperplasia. If a woman has lobular hyperplasia, regardless of the size of the lump, she should choose a specialist for consultation and treatment to avoid delaying the disease.

So why can essential oils enlarge breasts? Like weight loss products, most breast enhancement products claim to be pure natural and hormone-free. But are they really hormone-free? If they are really hormone-free, they will not have any effect. The breast tissue in the chest absorbs hormones more easily than the tissue in the waist. Excessive hormone levels in the body can cause endocrine disorders and lead to a series of breast diseases, so ladies who love beauty must make careful choices. It should be noted that nipples are connective tissue and easily absorb various substances. If you apply essential oils for a long time, even if you avoid the nipple area, the essential oils themselves are highly volatile and will inevitably be absorbed by the nipples in large quantities, which is absolutely harmful to the breasts.

The occurrence of all breast diseases is closely related to endocrine changes. A high-fat, high-calorie diet, a fast-paced, high-intensity work career, late marriage, infertile lifestyle, excessive makeup, breast augmentation, whitening, and tonics, etc., can all cause endocrine disorders and thus affect estrogen levels. Every woman has the ability to repair herself. Before the age of 45, it is best not to supplement or apply any external hormones to disrupt the body's original balance. If it is broken, it will be difficult to return to the balance and it is easy to develop physical diseases: lobular hyperplasia, breast hyperplasia, irregular menstruation, breast cancer, etc. Xie Hui also reminded female friends, especially those with early menarche, late menopause, family history of disease and obesity, that regular life, timely marriage and childbearing, adequate breastfeeding and regular breast cancer screening are the four most effective and convenient ways to prevent breast disease.
