Thanks for the reply timarie !
I'll get more information about the skullcap! I´m interested!
About spearmint, I use essential oil of peppermint in my massage oil. A drop that oil equals 24 cups of tea. In 100 ml of almond oil (normal) I mix 16 drops of peppermint essential oil. I think my skin is absorbing it well! But I feel safer swallowing something! lol that's why I will look for this tea.
About PCOS and I really do not know what really happened , but I have a hunch . I know I took BACH essences and various other floral systems (from Brazil, australia, eua, europe) . ( A proper U.S. is California Flower Essences) . Picked essences of the feminine aspect for a while . They seek the balance of negative traits in the personality of the individual . Always admired a woman's ability to be generous and welcoming . In my opinion, this is the nature of women . Give birth to a baby and love him . believe that the profound nature of the woman disappeared ! His animal aspect to prolong and protect life disappeared or it´s disappearing !
Anyway , I took some beautiful flower essences about feminine aspect! After that , suddenly, my period was regularized and some female characteristics just welled up in me! Of course that the use must be continuous ! to internalize the new features! And that takes time (more than a few months) !
After taking several essences for several traits , my life has improved a lot ! NEVER had a headache ( maybe 2 or 3 times ) . Increased my immunity. Had about 3 or 4 colds ! This in years! My PCOS disappeared ! My self -esteem has increased ! Anyway , several things happened !
I know it´s a total different matter from initial topic! But when it comes to this conversation, I love talking about flower essences! I did so well! I recommend you all try! It´s not good paying $100 for a consultationt with a floral therapist ! The flowers should be investigate by yourself and you must analyze yourself deeply!

I'm now starting my PM program! I'm thinking of taking something to reduce my testosterone level. I believe it's not too high! I have little facial hair.
when I was younger, I had PCOS. but today, I have no more. I don't know if it's common to disappear, but It's been normal ovaries for about 4 years from now!
So is saw palmetto not appropriate for me? what you are taking as anti-androgen? It has a good effect to balance the estrogen increase of pueraria mirifica?

Hey Mary!
I personally do not know a whole lot about PCOS. BUUUT I can recommend you to two great antiandrogens! I am taking Chinese Skullcap and Spearmint. If you look at post #92 on my bust thread (the one I recommended you see in your Fenugreek question thread), Abi explains the difference between Saw Palmetto and Chinese Skullcap and Spearmint, if that will help you with making your decision! And, you can always ask Abi herself
And the antiandrogens don't "balance the estrogen increase" but I assume you mean that they will be good enough to bring your testosterone down enough to help with your body's utilization of the new phytoestrogen hormones brought in from PM? If so, then yes, it should be, as far as I know.
And congrats on being PCOS free for the past 4 years! That is great.
