Peppermint is an antiandrogen, antibacterial, DHT inhibitor and 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor. It is a natural extract and is applied topically or taken orally.
The peppermint plant is a hybrid of the watermint and spearmint plants, and has been used medicinally for atleast ten thousand years. It has recently been found to inhibit 5-alpha-reductase when applied topically as an oil. [1] Spearmint itself has been found to disrupt androgen levels in men, and has also been used to control hirsutism in women. [2] [3]
No official dosage results have been posted, but peppermint oil in stronger concentrations may irritate the skin, so users must dilute the oil down to a pleasant level. Some users have been experimenting with a mixture of peppermint oil and water 1:50 in a spray bottle, applied as desired.
