why do u recommend spearmint only once? Ive been drinking spearmint everynight just because I heard it helps block testosterone

Spearmint raises LH. LH causes the ovaries to release many eggs if it is during ovulation. The other reason is that LH raises testosterone and estrogen. Raising testosterone is useful for a conversion by aromatase into estrogen.

Nothing I saw said the following rest of this sentence, but from its actions, spearmint might also be an aromatase proportional to how much it raises testosterone.

My logic was to raise LH when testosterone was low, so there would be enough for function, and so testosterone could also be converted into estrogen. There were texts that listed spearmint as an antiandrogen, but its only mentioned effects were that it raised estrogen. LH levels gradually drop on its own, so of course taking an herb, like spearmint, that raises LH would have to be tweaked. Also, during swelling, it might be a good time to take spearmint too, to allow more estrogen synthesis from raising testosterone. I was also betting on every day foods raising LH.

White peony is, as far as I know, a pure aromatase, it converts testosterone into estrogen. Red Reishi lowers conversion of testosterone into the more potent DHT. These last two herbs can do this without raising testosterone. Or in other words, hopefully more fine tuning.

Of course you can take spearmint tea as you do, or make tweaks. A warning, there are mints, when concentrated are toxic. However, spearmint tea is harmless. What do you think?

dam i wish I didnt confuse easily! lol. Im sorry what is LH? :0
