androgens ?

#1

I'm so super confused! I thought I had the signs of being E dominant because of my acne but actually now I'm thinking its because I have too much testosterone ??

I read an article that specifically says: "While we find little written material on androgen induced acne, practical experience has taught us it is [undefined=undefined]more common on the chin and along the jaw-line[/undefined]. Bacterial control and keeping the follicles open are important aspects of treatment, but two products become important in correcting zinc deficiency combined with controlling the over abundance of androgens."

Thats totally me! I really only get acne on my chin, and jawline area, and on my back (ew!) and for whatever reason, taking Birth Control pills does help things , but doesn't completely get rid of it.

What are the best ways to block androgens? And can someone enlighten me on what having excess androgens would do to my NBE ?

Is what I'm taking right now ok?

fenugreek
red clover
flaxseed oil
wild yam
MSM

and soon PM

Are all of these things ok to be taking if I have too much androgens? And is it sperment tea I need to take to block androgens?

Those should all be fine to take with high androgen levels. And yes, spearmint capsules or spearmint tea (I don't know why it seems as though everyone thinks spearmint only comes in tea form...) should do the job!

Thank you timarie! I bought some tea today, it is so yummy! I love it.

...I wonder if drinking 3 mojitos a day would do the trick too ;-)
