5 / 216 resultsresearch Anti-Androgenic Effects of Spearmint Tea (Mentha Spicata)
The document reviewed the potential anti-androgenic effects of spearmint tea in females with elevated androgens, which can cause conditions like hirsutism. Two studies were analyzed: one showed a decrease in free testosterone and an increase in luteinizing and follicle-stimulating hormones over 5 days, while the other, a 30-day randomized controlled trial, showed similar hormonal changes and a reduction in self-reported hirsutism scores, though not in the objective Ferriman-Gallwey score. The conclusion suggested that spearmint tea might help lower androgenic hormones, but longer treatment and follow-up are likely needed for noticeable improvements in hirsutism symptoms.

The product contains various oils and extracts, but users doubt its effectiveness.
community Been doing daily 3% topical peppermint oil for 6+ months (never used minoxidil). Have had growth that seems as good as minoxidil. Might strenghten the idea that peppermint is a good low-cost treatment, that potentially works by another route than minoxidil.
The user has been using finasteride, nizoral, microneedling, and recently added 3% peppermint oil to their hair loss treatment, experiencing regrowth similar to minoxidil. They suggest peppermint oil as a potentially effective, low-cost alternative or addition to minoxidil, with the added benefit of a pleasant smell and ease of use.
