10 Benefits of Spearmint Tea
Benefit #2: May Aid Women with Hormone Imbalances
Many women face issues with hormone imbalances. This may cause irregular periods, difficulty losing weight, acne, hair growth on face, fatigue, and even infertility. Many of these women have higher levels of testosterone than normal for women. However, studies in women have shown that spearmint can decrease testosterone while increasing female hormones. Female hormones are necessary for healthy periods and ovulation.
In one study, women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) drank spearmint tea twice a day for 30 days. After 30 days, it was found that the women had lower testosterone levels and higher follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) in comparison to the group who received the placebo.
