SPEARMINT TEA FOR ACNE

Updated: Jun 9, 2023


Spearmint tea has significant anti-androgen (a male hormone) effects. It

works by reducing the testosterone in the blood that is known to cause

hormonal acne. If you suffer from monthly breakouts (mainly cystic and on the lower half of the face), you are likely experiencing hormonal acne.

Here’s why drinking two cups of organic spearmint tea daily will help clear that acne up…


Studies have now shown that spearmint tea kills skin disease-causing

yeasts and bacteria. It is also anti-inflammatory! Dermatologist Dr. Carl

Thornfeldt explains that spearmint tea works due to the efficacy of the

compounds inside it - flavonoids, menthol, limonene, and rosmarinic acids. Each have either anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal or

anti-viral properties (or a combination of multiple). Thornfeldt further states, “it works on ALL the processes that drive adult acne.”


A 2015 study by the American Academy of Dermatology, compared 100

milligrams of prescription minocycline (an oral acne medication) with two

cups of organic spearmint tea ingested daily.

Minocycline reduced acne lesions by 52% after three months, but caused side effects in about 20% of patients. Spearmint tea reduced inflammatory acne lesions by 25% after just ONE month and by 51% after three months, with NO side effects!


Not only does spearmint tea work to clear your skin, but it calms indigestion, boosts the immune system, protects against fungal infections, and lowers inflammation!


You can buy spearmint tea at most grocery stores and even on Amazon. Our favorite is Traditional Medicinals Organic Spearmint Tea. Steep one bag for 15 minutes and drink 2 times per day.
