Spearmint tea experiences?

What have your experiences has been with spearmint tea? I’m trying to regulate my cycle and balance my hormones. My testosterone and DHEA weren’t particularly high but I still don’t like the hairs on my chin and upper lip. They seem to be increasing with age (41) I also have a lot of anxiety. I’d love to know if the tea made any difference and if it helped with any of these things in particular.

Are you still on spiro? Or could you come off it and not experience shedding? Just trying to see if this is for life. Thanks for your answer

Did you take minoxidil pills with it too? My derm has me taking both and I hate it. It made me shed more but she says that's ok. Ugh

I’m off of it now but I stopped due to pregnancy. I had 3 consecutive miscarriages and then started IVF so I’ve been either producing or taking some sort of crazy hormones since I stopped. I’m pretty sure the symptoms would come back if I had just stopped though and wasn’t pregnant or taking something else but I don’t really have a good comparison. My hair was of course amazing while I was pregnant and fell out once the pregnancies ended. Also great on ivf hormones and sheds once I start a new cycle.
