No, spearmint and peppermint are different plants with unique properties. Spearmint has a milder flavour and contains compounds like rosmarinic acid that are specifically linked to hormonal balance and PCOS relief, unlike peppermint, which is more commonly used for digestion.

Most people notice improvements in symptoms like reduced hair growth or clearer skin after drinking spearmint tea daily for 4–6 weeks. Consistency is key, and results may vary depending on individual hormone levels and lifestyle factors.

1. A tea infuser is the easiest and mess-free option. Add your loose-leaf tea, steep it, and remove when done.
2. Use a reusable or disposable teabag if you want a no-cleanup solution. Just fill it with tea, steep, and toss!
3. You can put the tea directly in your cup and add hot water, but it might be a bit messy.

Spearmint tea may help regulate cycles by reducing high androgen levels, which can disrupt ovulation. While it’s not a guaranteed solution, many women with PCOS report more regular periods with consistent use.

Spearmint tea is generally safe when consumed in moderation (1–2 cups daily). However, excessive consumption might lower testosterone levels too much or cause mild stomach upset in some individuals. Always consult a healthcare provider if you have concerns.
