abidrew,

what are your thoughts on spearmint tea as anti-androgen?

if i accidentally raised my estrogen level too high, do I balance it out with progesterone or testosterone?

thank you for the in depth explanation.

Spearmint tea belongs to the class that blocks the reduction of androsteniodone to testosterone and seemingly does not effect the estrone to estradiol pathway. It's a good choice if you aren't allergic to the mint family. Unfortunately, I am, so I can't.

Generally if your estrogen is too high you balance it by raising progesterone. The best way for that is a progesterone cream. The only way to want to raise your testosterone is if it's below the minimum for bone and muscle maintenance. You'll know easily if your T is too low if your muscles are constantly sore even when not being used at all.

And your welcome!

nice thread. I'm about to ask you guys about anti-androgen. I think cornsilk has an anti-androgen properties. I drank cornsilk tea a lot today, and get headache. does that means, it raised my estrogen level?
it's day 11 of my cycle. my estrogen should be going down for ovulation if nothing's wrong with my hormone.

I honestly don't know anything about cornsilk. I've seen in mentioned on the forums elsewhere for breast growth as well... My guess is it might be another pro-aromatase herb. Before assuming you went estrogen dominant though, I think it'd be better to consider the possibility of hypoglycemia. Many pro-aromatase chemicals are also well documented as causing a massive release of insulin, causing rapid hypoglycemic reactions.

Wow, I got this explanation from a thread done by Isabelle.

Thank you for your detailed explanation.

Some of Isabelle's information is very helpful... Some of it is kinda confusing... And every now and then, she gets something totally wrong. It's okay though, anti-hormones are a complex science on their own...
