Spearmint Tea
Easier than Electrolysis
In the “can’t hurt, might help” category: if you’re plagued with excess facial hair, try drinking two cups of spearmint tea a day. In a small Turkish study, women who did this for five days had a significant drop in levels of circulating testosterone, a male hormone that can lead to heavy hair growth. To make the tea the way researchers did, pour 1 cup boling water over 1 heaping teaspoon dried spearmint leaves; steep for 5 to 10 minutes. Note: You might want to offer your husband a different beverage. Four or more cups of spearmint tea a day can lower a man’s sex drive due to the drop in his testosterone levels.
