Spearmint-anti-androgenic properties reduce the level of free testosterone in the blood, while leaving total testosterone and DHEAS unaffected.

Spearmint

"Spearmint (Mentha spicata[Labiatae]) Decreases free testosterone, increases LH, FSH and estradiol. Reduction in patient reported measures of hirsutism"
It says spearmint lowers free testosterone, not DHT, but it does reduce hirsutism (which is caused by dht). Reishi and green tea reduce DHT. I know other herbs on that list lower DHT, that aren't listed as so. Do you have a source or lead about spearmint and its effects DHT?
