Ask Assistant about this

This is metabolic + androgen. Cinnamon and spearmint tea have small human files (androgens/hirsutism for spearmint; glucose for cinnamon). Chaste tree does not 'fix PCOS.' Fertility goals change everything.

Primary plants

Clinical notes

  • Spearmint tea has small hirsutism RCTs; it is not in this edition — culinary tea is the studied form if you use it outside the catalog.

When this is not enough

  • Amenorrhea workup not done, endometrial protection needed, fertility/pregnancy, severe androgen excess
