Q about Spearmint Tea

Hi everyone,
I've been a visitor here for a little over a month--just absorbing as much information as I can from this great resource (I'm so glad I found this site!). I've been on a Wonderup regimen for a little over 3 weeks now, nothing happening yet, though I don't expect that. Recently I've been incorporating Spearmint tea into my regimen as well.
I've been searching the posts on spearmint tea and though I've seen a consensus that you have to drink it during the follicular phase (or first 14 days of cycle, beginning with period day 1) I can't find any explanation as to why. I like the tea so am planning to just drink it everyday--just wanted to reassure myself that doing this won't hurt my efforts at all. Does anyone know if there's anything counter-productive to NBE by drinking Spearmint tea during your entire cycle?
Thanks in advance for any insight. I'll try to get my program page posted here so I can properly join the community and track my progress!

hey girls
i have no answer to your questions but i think the idea came from Wahaika. and maybe because the androgens are highest at that time.
My question is where the hell did you manage to get the spearmint tea from? concidering i'm from europa. i tried Italy, Germany, Finland and nothing. is there any european herbsite that would not charge so much on shipping since the herb itself is pretty cheap. and is the anyone with results on how it works?

Where to buy Spearmint

Hi Bonnette,
I'm in the US, so probably can't help you much, but I found my Spearmint tea at my local Co-op/ natural foods store. They have a bulk herbs/ tea section and I just bought the loose leaves--it's unbelievable cheap. Maybe you can check out comparable stores where you are? I've only been drinking it for about 2 weeks so too soon to tell for me if its doing having any effect.

hey all,...if you have a garden spot or just a big planter you can get spearmint seeds or rhizomes and start your own plants.
Its very strong grower and will grow just about anywhere that has enough sunlight.
Also,someone told me they could buy spearmint on Ebay,couple of pounds for $3.00 U.S.

I am going to try this out, I'm also based in europe and found some spearmint tea in this site http://www.nbtea.co.uk/index.php (i've actually ordered green tea from them before and they were fine with delivery). Not sure if it's the spearmint tea (pure one) or Morrocan mint tea (with spearmint) that I need to get?

It is the moroccan mint you are looking for, it is also called nana mint I believe.
I don't think it matter if it is mixed with camomile or anything else for that matter as long as it has the right amount in the bags.

Spearmint should be better known for blocking androgens. I'm surprised it hasn't had more of a mention here.
