[misc] be careful with spearmint

Beauty Tips For Body Care
I started drinking spearmint around two months ago. It really cleared up my skin, but in the last few weeks my body has become severely out of order. I've been having insomnia,anxiety attacks nearly nightly, and I've never experienced this before. I didn't know what it was before but then I researched estrogen dominance because other parts of my body were going wack as well and I suspected hormones. (TMI warning). I was constantly bloated, had excess discharge and swollen painful breasts and cramps even though I'm nowhere close to my period. Spearmint tea lowers androgens, which leaves estrogen to be extra high in some cases.I drank the tea in loose leaf form so I probably got a higher concentration than what was safe(by accidentally drinking the whole leaf), so I'm not saying this will happen to everyone. It didn't happen to my sister who drank the same as me(although she empties the tea leaves and did not see a difference in her skin). Just monitor for these symptoms and moderate. And please, see a doctor if you can and be careful. Just wanted to share my experience to keep y'all safer!
