Want to Get Rid of Unwanted Hair? – Spearmint Tea is Your Option

A number of studies have reported that drinking a couple of cups of spearmint tea everyday for five days can help you get rid of hirsuitism. A study found that hirsute women drinking two cups of spearmint tea for just five days can significantly lower their blood levels of ‘free’ testosterone – the form of testosterone that is metabolically active in the body and causes excessive hair growth.

How does spearmint tea help with body hair removal?

Spearmint tea is an effective natural alternative for removing unwanted hair if you have mild symptoms of hirsuitism. Spearmint is a well-known inhibitor of male libido because it reduces the levels of androgens in the body. It is likely to work equally well for female hirsuitism, which is caused due to similar reasons. This herbal tea, for removing unwanted hair, can be prepared by pouring about 250 ml of boiling water over 5 gm of dried spearmint leaves and letting it blend for 5-10 minutes.

This potent mixture significantly decreases the amount of active testosterone in your blood and increases a number of female hormones, including the one that stimulates the growth of hair follicles. However, spearmint tea does not help in reducing the overall testosterone levels because most of it is largely inactive. Spearmint tea is also likely to have an impact on the metabolism of testosterone as well as affect the direct synthesis of these male hormones.
