When healing a health concern, ensuring your diet is a focus is fundamental to restoring balance. Tea's are a really great wait to reap the benefits of herbal actions - a nice warming drink in the cooler months and a refreshing cooking drink in the warmer months.
Our favourite tea of the month is spearmint tea for its hormonal acne benefits!
Why? Let's discuss 3 ways!
1. Reduces Androgen Levels
A contributing factor to hormonal acne is excess androgens (e.g. testosterone) which increases sebum (oil) production, clogging pores. Spearmint contains compounds that helps to reduce free testosterone levels.
2. Anti-Inflammatory
Rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds, this supports calming the skin, reducing any redness and reduce blemishes.
3. Encourages Hormonal Balance in PCOS
If you suffer from PCOS, spearmint tea is in your corner! Research indicates spearmint tea can support balance of hormones linked to skin concerns especially in PCOS cases.
So, what now? If you'd like to try spearmint tea aim for 1 - 2 cups per day.
