Hey AbiDrew85,

You seem to know a lot about these things, maybe you could help me
Do you know anything about the effect of Nigella Sativa or black cumin oil on hormones ? Especially oestrogen-testerone wise ? Does it have any effect on aromatase ? I am looking for aromatase promoting herbs. Most herbs seem to do the opposite. I am taking black cumin seeds for the anti-inflammatories benefits and anti-allergic effects but want to know to be sure it does not inhibit aromatase;

I don't know if I have high testosterone but i do have acne (although mild), some hairs on my shin (eww) and my hair gets oily very fast.

I am going to start taking Scutellaria laterifolia if I can find it. I don't know if it is the same as chinese skullcap but it is all I can find in my country.

What about common sage ? Any information on this ? They say it is oestrogenic. However, it increases my libido I think and I want to keep my libido low (I don't have a partner so I don't have sex and if my libido is low I find it easier to be single furthermore I am afraid that anything that increases my libido also increases my male hormones)

Any ideas on these herbs.

Thank you all and have a very nice day.
