@alfredoolivas yes. I'm just not sure about potential estrogenic or anti DHT effects. But I haven't seen anything conving, that would stop me from consuming it infrequently .

I purposefully stay away from peppermint.

@DavidPS yeah that is the most convincing study i've seen so far the dosage also wasn't excessively high
Dare to think.

@Mauritio Well progesterone does the same; inhibits LH and FSH, and is therefore anti-androgenic. Unless peppermint oil is estrogenic, it may be a good proxy for progesterone.

Peppermint actually increased LH /FSH, unlike Progesterone.
I want to mention that the amount of menthol you get from tea is about ten times less than you get from the essential oil. and menthol seems to be the deciding metabolic factor here.
menthol actually has antiprolactin effects as i posted above so i'm not sure if anti - testosterone effects would be seen with the essential oil which is mostly Menthol.

@DavidPS high amounts 40mg/kg peppermint caused white matter dmg vs 10mg/kg which didnt show it for this dmg , rats https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/0378427483901212
But the menthol has some liver toxicity at dopamine doses i think, shows liver protection caused by other things but can cause liver changes https://doi.org/10.1016/0378-4274(83)90120-0
when i tried menthol for the dopamine & temp effect i tried it through the skin , noticed some liver pain after a bit ~1g. which i never get otherwise

@cs3000 - thanks for the additional information.

@cs3000 thanks interesting . It seems save enough for a short duration or infrequent use.
I also noticed some dopaminergic benefits from nebulizing peppermint oil . I guess the dose there should be very low.The liver pain might also come from it decreasing peristalsis and thus bile not being excreted fast enough and reabsorbed...
