I read on here the other day that spearmint could help with growth so I buy some spearmint tea bags. I made it into cold iced tea and it's SO GOOD. I'm not one to drink hot tea much but I do love iced tea.

I think spearmint tea has an anti androgen effect so don't know if it'll do anything if you don't have a raised androgen level to start with - they're using it on the male body forum to combat body hair (I've bought some and it is nice though!)

girls did you buy the spearmint online or in real shop? i haven't come across in shops yet
and online shipping costs are a bit too much for the cheap tea

I couldn't find pure spearmint so bought spearmint and camomile, it's 50:50 dried herb and gives 1g of spearmint per tea bag - not sure how much of that you actually get or how much you need, probably more info on male body forum. I bought mine in Hollad and Barrett (UK health food shop) but also seen it in the supermarket. I'd be happy to post you some but not sure how much it'd cost?

Grow it yourself...
July 19 2007, 11:30 PM
Its easy to grow,just get a big flowerpot and fill with soil and buy a SpM plant at a herb nursery or Ive even seen them at the big hardware dept. stores like Home Depot.
Actually,just ask around amongst friends,somebody is bound to have a Mint patch in their garden,that you can get a start from.
You only need a little,it grows fast.

oh yeah! that's true - mints are very easy to grow. you can grow them right outside your front door in a bit of soil, or in a pot. it tastes good just to eat the leaves as well!

Is it just spearmint that helps with NBE or does peppermint do the same thing? I have some peppermint I'm growing outside this year.

hey girls
i'm also very interested in the spearmint but havent found one yet. what i could say is that peppermint is definately not the same, i tried for two months and my acne actually got worse.
i'm not at home now but as soon as i return i will contact and maybe we can make a deal. by the way is it also possible to grow it indoors in the pot?

peppermint essential oil.....
July 20 2007, 7:22 PM
Yes peppermint is the source for Menthol,it is a very strong oil.
Ive read one spot says that it is fine to use ,no prob.,and another spot says you can get sick from menthol toxicity.Youd have to ingest a lot of the oil.
Spearmint is different,it doesnt contain menthol,or at least it has it in very small amounts.
Pennyroyal is another mint Im interested in.
Its very strong also.Its used as a insect repellent.
It has warnings about it also.

Apparently you only need to drink Spearmint tea twice a day on five days during the follicular phase (first 14 days of your cycle) to take effect and lower free testosterone.
Below is an abstract of a study conducted on androgen levels and hirsutism in women whic gives the details.

I can't seem to find straight spearmint tea either. I can only find a spearmint/peppermint mix. I grew spearmint last year in my garden and I wanted to try something different so I planted peppermint instead this year. frickafracka

As I understand it you only need to drink the tea on five of the first fourteen days or so of your cycle, basically until ovulation.
Your first day of your cycle is the day you get your period, so you could drink it during the first five days while you have your period, or on any of the other days following it up until approximately day 14 or whenever you usually ovulate depending on the length of your cycle.
I hope this makes it clearer.
