Maybe ...: The original study from turkey was way too short (5 days). The latest published study is still too short - 30 days of spearmint tea twice a day vs. Herbal tea for the control group. It found a decrease in free testosterone in the blood, but not a decrease in observed hirsutism using a standard scoring system. You would need to drink the tea twice a day for 2-3 months or more to see if it helps.
