Spearmint tea challenge: does it improve hirsutism?
One of its most visible symptoms of PCOS is hirsutism, which refers to the growth of excess hair on the face, chest, and other areas of the body. Studies suggest that spearmint can help reduce androgen levels in women with PCOS, which can lead to a reduction in hirsutism. This positive side effect of spearmint tea has also been echoed within the PCOS community.

I’m super excited to test out this hypothesis! I have spearmint powder and hope that is just as effective as tea!
Spearmint powder? Never heard of it! What do you use it in? Happy that you’re joining 😄
I’m very excited to experience this challenge will all of you and compare notes on our progress. My experience has been that the medications prescribed for symptoms of PCS usually made me sick! I sought out natural remedies that would help.
So excited that you signed up ✨ I am praying this works as well. Even slightly less hair growth on my face would be amazing. Will definitely check back in to share / hear how you’re progressing!
