Some believe that Spearmint tea benefits, like Peppermint tea benefits, include menstrual relief. The suggestion is that both types of herbal tea have antispasmodic properties, which can, in turn, soothe menstrual cramps in many women. However, this is where our honesty policy comes into play because few studies exist showcasing this particular tea’s capacity to relieve menstrual discomfort.

While this infusion might support those living with PCOS, there is little evidence indicating it can reduce pain when your “time-of-the-month” comes around. As such, until we know more, we support ongoing research with the hope of promising findings in the near-future.

Balances Hormones:

The leaves of the Spearmint plant are widely used for treating PCOS or Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and other types of hormonal imbalance issues.The presence of potent organic compounds in this plant can stimulate the endocrine system in the body. This herb can improve the hormonal balance and avoid specific metabolic side effects, such as hirsutism, by lowering the excess levels of testosterone in women.

Drinking Spearmint tea regularly can show excellent results in regulating hormonal imbalance in women. Several scientific pieces of research claim that Spearmint consumption can effectively reduce male hormones like testosterone and elevate female hormones which are necessary for ovulation, like follicle-stimulating hormone (i.e. FSH), luteinizing hormone (i.e. LH), and oestradiol.

The antioxidants and flavonoids present in Spearmint tea also treat symptoms of cystic acne and irregular periods.

PCOS is a hormonal disorder that affects 1 in 10 women of reproductive age. PCOS stems from hormonal imbalances that cause irregular or prolonged menstrual periods. Women with PCOS have higher than normal levels of androgen (testosterone), a male hormone, which causes them to have trouble getting pregnant. It takes place when the egg is released from your ovary, which, during intercourse, may or may not lead to fertilisation. As established above, this beverage has the potential to reduce the symptoms of PCOS. This, indeed, includes stimulating the release of eggs. Background PCOS is one of the most common endocrine abnormalities in women. Due to the side effects of drugs, the tendency to use natural antioxidants and anti-inflammatory agents to regulate metabolism, hyperinsulinemia, and hyperlipidemia in PCOS patients has been increased.

Birth control pills and progestin therapy are two common treatments for PCOS, but they both cause unwanted side effects. However, Mentha spicata can be an effective natural way to treat PCOS. Spearmint tea’s hormone-balancing abilities also might extend to ovulation, which most women will know is part of the menstrual cycle.

Scientists concluded that all participants experienced a significant decrease in free (active) testosterone in the blood. Volunteers also saw an increase in several female hormones, including follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). Nevertheless, despite being good news for hirsutism and PCOS sufferers alike, it remains essential to seek proper medical treatment if you live with these conditions.

Hirsutism:

Hirsutism is a health problem for women in which hair grows excessively where it shouldn’t (such as on the jaw line and neck), and it also causes male pattern baldness. This condition is typically caused by an increase in male hormones called androgens, such as testosterone.

Evidence indicates that Spearmint tea benefits influence androgens, an essential type of hormone. The principle androgens are testosterone and androstenedione, which despite existing in men in greater quantities, are also found in women. These hormones have a close association with puberty. However, they also play small roles in the reproductive tract, bone, kidney, liver and muscle health. Having too much or too little androgen in the body, regardless of gender, can have adverse side effects. When there is too much, it can cause acne, hirsutism (excess hair growth in inappropriate places) and balding. When there is too little, it can lead to low libido (desire for sex), fatigue, depression and increased susceptibility to bone loss, osteoporosis and fractures. 

Spearmint tea, meanwhile, works as a hormone-balancer. In other words, it can bring androgen levels to a healthy level. When it comes to hair, in particular, a Turkish study provides the answers as to how this works. Regular consumption of Spearmint tea holds high significance in treating a condition called hirsutism, which is a condition where women develop dark, thick hair on unwanted places like above the lips, at the chin or jawline or on the chest or back. This is mostly caused due to the presence of high levels of testosterone in the body. A cup of Spearmint tea taken twice a day for a week is bound to show effective results in reducing the male hormones and treating hirsutism.

In fact, it’s a common herbal remedy for unwanted hair growth in Middle Eastern countries. High levels of male hormones, or androgens, are linked to an overgrowth of facial hair in women. Two studies in women with facial hair have shown that drinking Spearmint tea may help.

While the study was not long enough to determine whether Spearmint affected facial hair, the women’s testosterone levels were reduced. The report indicates that further testing is required to validate the results of the study prior to recommending Spearmint as a drug to reduce the incidence of hirsutism (excessive hair growth in women).
