Spearmint Tea for PCOS Hirsutism?

November 2nd, 2009

The lastest editon of PCOS Review discusses a second study that shows a positive link between spearmint tea and hirsuitsm (excess hair) in women with PCOS.

Of 42 women with PCOS who were studied at the UK’s Eastbourne District General Hospital – one group had spearmint tea 2x a day and the others a placebo – the group taking tea showed a reduction in  testosterone.

The same women reported a reduction in hirsutism, although no change was found in an objective measure of hair.

Regardless, spearmint tea has shown to be beneficial in women with testosterone issues. We join PCOS Review in calling for further research.
