May Aid Women With Hormone Imbalances

Spearmint tea might be therapeutic for females with hormonal problems. It can lower male hormones like testosterone while enhancing female ovulation-related hormones like luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), and estradiol, according to studies on women. Two cups of spearmint tea per day lowered testosterone and increased LH, FSH, and estrogen levels in a five-day trial of 21 hormone-imbalanced women.

Similar to this, in 30-day randomized research, 42 PCOS women who drank spearmint tea twice daily had lower testosterone levels and greater LH and FSH levels than those who drank a placebo tea. Additionally, it was discovered that spearmint essential oil increased the number of viable eggs in the rat ovaries and reduced testosterone and ovarian cysts in a study on the animals.
