Abstract in brief

  • This study investigated how spearmint (Mentha spicata) tea affects hormone levels in women with hirsutism, a condition of excessive hair growth linked to increased androgen levels.
  • The results showed that drinking spearmint tea for five days reduced free testosterone levels and increased hormones like luteinizing hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone, and estradiol, suggesting an antiandrogenic effect.
  • The findings imply that spearmint tea could be a natural alternative to conventional antiandrogen treatments for mild hirsutism, but further research is needed to confirm its effectiveness and safety.]

@opheliamuses The others aren't really an issue. Maybe if they were a concentrated extract or essential oil, but otherwise, no. Now, spearmint, it does have some interesting effects on hormones. Not sure how that could impact a developing baby.... https://t.co/uvEbiNKSJh
