Re: [Everything doTERRA] Oils & Birth Control Pills

In some instances there is no difference in effect between the oil from the rind and the juice from the fruit on medication levels, it depends on the medication and the person. There are others who have had it interfere with their medications if grapefruit is contraindicated, one of my friends with her blood pressure medication, for example.

After reading that article, I'd recommend checking with your doctor because apparently it depends on whether or not you're on an estrogen based birth control pill. If you are, I'd recommend changing it to one that isn't because increased levels of estrogen like this would be a concern that they may lead to estrogen-driven cancers in the future. In the meantime, you may want to stop the S&S or take it down to a small amount. 

Your concerns are valid.

I'm a newbie. Do oils interfere with birth control pills. I was
reading this article http://www.livestrong.com/article/285831-grapefruit-birth-control-effectiveness/
and that led me to second guess trying the Slim & Sassy since it has
grapefruit in it. Any advice?
