Hormonal acne is one of the most stubborn and distressing symptoms of PCOS. Topical treatments often fail because the problem isn’t on the surface; it’s in the blood. Nutritionists advocate for an “inside-out” approach. By drinking teas like Spearmint and Kalonji, you treat the systemic causes of acne—high testosterone and inflammation—clearing the skin from within.
This method is effective because it targets the source. It changes the oil production and inflammation levels at the cellular level. It is a beauty routine that starts in the kitchen, offering a clear complexion as a reflection of internal health.
Spearmint tea is the star of this approach. It directly lowers the androgens that stimulate oil glands. With consistent use, it dries up the oil source that feeds hormonal cysts, leading to a dramatic reduction in breakouts along the jawline and chin.
Kalonji tea supports clear skin by reducing redness and swelling. Acne is an inflammatory condition. By lowering systemic inflammation, Kalonji tea helps the skin heal faster and reduces the angry, red appearance of breakouts.
Ajwain tea supports the process by reducing stress. Pain causes stress, and stress worsens acne. By managing period pain with Ajwain, you lower the overall stress load on the body, indirectly supporting clearer, happier skin.
