Today I bring great news for all those women who have
problems with hair. And is that researchers at the University Turkey Suleyman
Demirel, say in an article published in the journal Phytotherapy Research that
daily consumption of 2-5 cups of spearmint tea, Mentha spicata Labiatae,
significantly decreases the levels of testosterone in women, the male hormone
that gives us sexual desire, but at high levels carries the appearance of hair
in facial areas, shoulders, belly and breasts.
According to the study, the classic infusion allows combat
hirsutism, excessive hair growth in women with the same efficiency as more
expensive treatments and effects side as contraceptive drugs or inhibitors of
aldosterone (a hormone secreted by the adrenal gland). How to get it?

Hirsutism growth is characterized by excessive hair on face,
breasts or pubic, and is thought to affect 5% of the female population. It is
characteristic of the end of the menopause, when an increase in androgen
production by the ovaries or adrenal glands.
Research
According to data from research, taking infusions of mint
regularly, it is possible that women maintain balanced levels of androgens and
avoid consequences as annoying as the excessive growth of hair.
However, research casts some doubt on the mechanism of
action of the infusion, since it is unclear whether peppermint acts on
androgens or directly on the hair.
