Spearmint tea has remarkable anti-androgen properties. A randomized clinical trial showed drinking 2 cups daily for 30 days significantly reduced free testosterone and increased LH and FSH levels in women with PCOS. It's an effective natural approach to managing PCOS symptoms like hirsutism (excess facial/body hair), acne, and oily skin.
Steep 1 tablespoon dried spearmint leaves (or 1 tea bag) in boiling water for 10 minutes. Drink 2 cups daily — one in the morning, one in the evening. Consistent daily use for 3+ months for anti-androgen effects.
May reduce iron absorption — take apart from iron-rich meals. Avoid in large quantities during pregnancy. May enhance effects of anti-androgen medications. Not a replacement for prescribed PCOS treatments.
