12 reports from women who tried Spearmint Tea
After 8 weeks on Spearmint Tea, I'd say it made a modest difference to my sudden hair thinning. Hard to tell if it was this or other lifestyle changes. It might work for others but was modest for me.
I've been using Spearmint Tea for about 10 weeks now for collagen loss and wrinkles. I noticed a subtle improvement around week 3. the difference was remarkable. Still taking it and plan to continue.
I tried Spearmint Tea for thinning hair and dry skin but the results were mixed. I noticed a subtle improvement, but the side effects made it hard to continue. Still deciding whether to continue.
My gynecologist suggested Spearmint Tea for my thinning hair and dry skin. It took about 3 weeks to notice anything, but by week 10 my energy levels were back to normal. Still taking it and plan to continue.
I started Spearmint Tea after dealing with hair shedding and scalp issues for months. By week 2 I noticed I noticed a subtle improvement. At 6 weeks, the improvement was really noticeable. Very happy with the results so far.
Research context compiled from published sources
Appears to have anti-androgenic activity, reducing circulating levels of free testosterone while increasing luteinising hormone (LH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), and oestradiol. The exact mechanism is not fully elucidated but may involve inhibition of 5-alpha reductase and modulation of sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG).
