Question spearmint tea lowers testosterone in PCOS women??

According to Good housekeeping has an article has written about a study in turkey that has shown that women who drink 2 cups of spearmint tea a day which is made with 2 teaspoons dried spearmint tea and one cup hot water let it steap 5 to 10 minutes show a great lowering of testosterone and really really helps with hair growth I was wondering if anyones tried it

I hope to try the spearmint tea. Its easier to take capsules than remember to brew tea everyday. Some poeple brew spearmint tea overnight in a glass jar. put your spearmint leaves then pour boiling water over top and let set with lid on overnight, and then strain off in morning and drink, put sugar/or stevia ect for sweetner if desired. That would be pretty easy to brew the next da ys tea the night before. Thats probably called an Infusion.

RobinC, I use spearmint tea for 7-10 days in my early cycle days (from around cd 3 or 5 to 12-15 or so) and I have had 2 regular cycles now. BUT I have also started taking 30-45mgs of zinc daily. So I don't know what has made my cycle shorter and more regular.

Does anyone get headache from spearmint tea? I've had this annoying headache for couple of days now again and I recall having the same in my last cycle as well. I guess I'll find out in a week when I'm done with this cycle's spearmints.

Facial hair almost gone? That is fantastic news! Did you have a lot of facial hair to begin with?

I've decided to start drinking some spearmint tea lately as I found a plant at the nursery to take home, grow, and brew tea with.
