Mentha spicata
Aromatic perennial herb native to Europe and Asia widely used for digestive conditions, IBS, nausea, and excess androgen in women with PCOS.
Mentha spicata (spearmint) is an aromatic perennial herb traditionally used for digestive disorders, IBS, and nausea, with emerging evidence for reducing excess androgen in PCOS. Its primary active compounds include carvone, limonene, and flavonoids, which contribute to antispasmodic, carminative, and antiandrogenic effects. Evidence level C supports its clinical use, though larger trials are needed.
Spearmint exhibits antispasmodic effects via calcium channel blockade and smooth muscle relaxation, mediated by carvone and limonene. Its carminative action reduces gas and bloating by relaxing the gastrointestinal sphincter. The antiandrogenic effect is attributed to carvone and other monoterpenes that inhibit 5α-reductase and reduce free testosterone levels. Flavonoids provide additional antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity.
