Top excerpts
Spearmint tea has a lot of anecdotal support for attenuating PCOS symptoms as well.
spearmint tea completely eradicated my hormonal acne
Try switching peppermint tea for spearmint tea. Spearmint tea has more evidence supporting its ability to reduce inflammatory lesions.
Spearmint tea has antiandrogenic properties much like spironolactone. If you don’t drink it daily, you won’t see results.
Now I’m drinking it again and it’s helping my skin. I’m only period rn and the minute I felt my skin become oily and pimples forming I drank the 2/3 cups at night

Beautiful and (for me very unique) taste
It was a very good tea, mellow and comforting.
My wife and I drink a LOT of Wuyi teas, and Wuyi blacks like jin Jun mei and zheng shan xiao zhong are in our standard rotation each week.
The only ones I've really liked were Jin Jun Mei's and Feng Qing "Golden Pekoe #100" which is really good imo.
Jin Jun Mei (smells good! tastes good! just not what I, personally, like to nurse for hours on end)
