Spearmint tea can remove hair of women with hirsutism!

spearmint tea 9You thought your morning cup of tea only sets the tone for a perfect day? It’s clearly much more than that. Going by data published in Phytotherapy Research, drinking two cups of spearmint tea a day for five days could help women who have unwanted hair on their faces, breasts and stomachs.

The embarrassing growth of hair stems from abnormally high levels of the ‘masculinising’ androgen hormones among some women and new data claim that the spearmint tea can reduce the level of androgens in women with hirsutism.

Mehmet Numan Tamer, spokesperson for the research team at the Suleyman Demirel University, Isparta, Turkey revealed

Current therapies use either oral contraceptives to suppress androgen production, or medications such as spironolactone that prevent the body responding to androgen — but this study shows that spearmint could be a good natural alternative for women who have mild symptoms.
