Recap of my break week;
During this time I did not take the BO orally however I was still applying the BO cream since it is localized. Each day I took all of my other supplements as usual, as well as taking Maca 3x a day. I wasn’t expecting much growth during this week because I remembered that Ellen mentioned that she didn’t experience much growth at this time, that they WANT to grow but DON’T. That appeared to be accurate because I noticed only a few growth pains in the first day or two and absolutely no additional squishy-ness/swelling/visible growth
I’d like to mention that prior to starting this new BO routine, I’d incorporated BO into a different regiment of mine. I hadn’t been taking breaks from the BO during my period as I should’ve been. I wasn’t aware of how it could actually severely hinder progress. Silly me
Now that I am going to take a break from it each month, I’m expecting more growth due to the increase in FSH development during my period. With that being said I’m excited to see where I’m at in a few weeks or so. I recall Ellen noticing some significant growth approximately 2 weeks after her break week and I’m hoping I’ll see some similar changes.
I’ve been drinking spearmint tea once or twice a day for its anti-androgen properties. It got me thinking about peppermint tea as well. I was curious if it had similar properties because they’re both in the mint family.. Turns out they do!
I even came across this study
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/15302514/
In addition to lowering testosterone, it helps to raise FSH levels. I’m not sure if spearmint does both of those so if not, I think peppermint may just be the better of the two for NBE
I also read that peppermint tea is one of the “alkaline” teas. The article I was reading also mentioned a couple of health issues related to a diet that is too acidic. One of those issues that jumped out at me was a low body temperature!

So to those ladies who have a lower than normal body temp and who are using/planning to use BO, it’s possible that having an acidic diet may be contributing to your problem!
After some brief research, I’ve come to the conclusion that it appears there are 3 main benefits in drinking peppermint tea that contribute to NBE
• lowers testosterone levels
• raises FSH levels
• encourages a balanced pH which may help maintain a normal body temp (needed for optimal BO use)
That’s all for now!
