Spearmint Tea For PCOS

Herbs and tea have been a part of holistic medicine for centuries, and with good reason. They hold a ton of health benefits with far less negative side effects than prescriptions and other medications. That’s why we’re big fans of tea around here! 

Spearmint tea is one of my favorite natural remedies for some of my polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) symptoms. Not only does it taste minty fresh, but it also has tons of PCOS-fighting properties (which we’ll get into next!).  

Of course, spearmint tea isn’t an overnight solution to your PCOS symptoms, but it’s a great companion to your natural healing journey. So, today, I’m dedicating this post to spearmint tea and how it can help you with PCOS hormone imbalance. Here’s the tea: 

Spearmint Tea For PCOS

There are several beneficial teas for women with PCOS, but spearmint tea probably holds the MOST benefits. Studies show that spearmint tea has a significant anti-androgenic effect, which means it helps lower and regulate testosterone levels in females.

This is a big deal because high androgen levels are responsible for quite a few PCOS symptoms, including acne, unwanted hair growth, male pattern baldness, mood swings, infertility, irregular periods, and even high blood sugar. Spearmint can support weight loss goals too!

While lowering testosterone, research finds that spearmint tea also increases the luteinizing hormone levels (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone levels (FSH) in the body. These hormones regulate the menstrual cycle, improve regular sexual function, and even increase fertility! 

Try drinking spearmint tea twice a day and track your symptom improvements to see how this herbal tea may help you. 

Below, I have listed all the potential benefits of spearmint tea:

How To Drink Spearmint Tea For PCOS

Drink it hot.

Probably the simplest way to drink spearmint tea for PCOS is to brew it and drink it hot! Simply boil water over the stove or use an electric kettle with temperature control to get the perfect temp for steeping. (The best for herbal teas is between 208˚ – 212˚F.) 

Keep your tea infuser in your mug for 3-5 minutes and then remove it. Leaving it in there longer will make the tea stronger, but eventually make it bitter, so make sure you don’t leave it in the entire time you’re drinking your tea. If you don’t love the flavor, try adding some lemon. If brewing sounds intimidating, try Testosterone Relief Tea! This tea blend includes spearmint, lemon balm, rosehip, and other herbs researched to help with hormonal dysregulation. No plastic tea bag is necessary!

Drink it cold.

If hot beverages aren’t your favorite, try iced tea! Steep the tea the same way (yes, steep it hot), and then pour the finished tea over a pitcher or glass of ice. Then, enjoy! 

Again, you could add flavors to your tea, but consider avoiding sugar or dairy products that could work against your PCOS healing goals! 

Add it to a smoothie.

Tea is something you can add to smoothies too. This is a great way to mask the base tea flavor, but enhance the health benefits and taste of your morning smoothie. Spearmint tea tastes especially delicious in a smoothie that contains coconut milk, a little strawberry and mango, and protein powder!

Make popsicles.

After you’ve made your hot tea, let it cool a bit, and then pour it into popsicle molds (or ice cube trays) with fresh fruit, mint leaves, and lemon juice. In a few hours, you’ll have a tasty summer treat that can help you combat PCOS symptoms! Want to take it up a notch and curb your cravings? Add a serving of Ovasitol in each popsicle mold!

Add fresh fruit. 

Lastly, adding fresh fruit to your tea can help enhance the flavors and make it more palatable while you’re still getting used to the flavor. Use this list of PCOS-friendly fruits as a guide. A few good options would be oranges, kiwi, grapefruit, strawberries, papayas, and pomegranates. 

Best Spearmint Tea For PCOS

Testosterone Relief Tea

When it comes to choosing the best spearmint tea for PCOS, Testosterone Relief Tea is in a league of its own. We hand-selected each ingredient based on research to create the perfect hormone-balancing blend—because Cysters deserve a tea that actually works with their bodies, not against them.

Unlike regular spearmint tea, Testosterone Relief Tea is a powerful combination of hormone-supporting herbs that work together to naturally lower testosterone, support a healthy metabolism, increase satiety, and promote a calm mind and body. One of the main stars is spearmint, which you already know has been shown to naturally lower testosterone levels, reducing excess facial hair and hormonal acne. But it also includes other amazing herbs and flavors:

• Nettle – A natural detoxifier that binds to and removes excess androgens from the body.
• Cinnamon – Improves insulin sensitivity and helps regulate menstrual cycles in PCOS.
• Chamomile – Soothes inflammation and supports stress hormone balance to help lower cortisol.

Here’s a list of more!

But what’s not in your tea matters just as much as what is! NO PLASTIC. NO BPA. Ever wonder what’s steeping along with your tea? Many standard tea bags contain sneaky plastics that release BPA into your hot tea—which can disrupt hormones and worsen PCOS symptoms. That’s why Testosterone Relief Tea comes in pyramid-shaped sachets made from plant-based cassava fibers. These eco-friendly, biodegradable bags allow for a full steep so you get every last benefit from our powerful ingredients—without any hidden toxins.

Researched, handcrafted, and designed for Cysters… by a fellow Cyster and PCOS Registered Dietitian. We formulated this blend with hormonal balance, metabolic health, and stress reduction in mind—so every sip is doing something good for your body. Whether you’re sipping it in the morning or as part of your evening wind-down routine, this tea is made to support your hormones and help you feel your best.

Spearmint tea holds a lot of PCOS-fighting benefits! 

Though there is no cure for PCOS, there are lots of natural ways we can reverse our polycystic ovary syndrome and heal from our symptoms—and what you eat (and DRINK!) is a big part of that. I recommend an anti-inflammatory, gluten and dairy-free diet, which you can follow in The Cysterhood App. I’ve got tons of recipes and all the information you need to get your life back on track. And enjoy a cup of Testosterone Relief Tea while you’re there…because life is too short to spend most of it plucking our chin hairs!
