what hormone does spearmint tea affect

When it comes to weight loss, increased cortisol levels from heightened stress can have negative consequences on your metabolism. The calming, soothing scent from your peppermint tea can help reduce stress and keep your body on track. I'm a big fan of Yogi Tea's Purely Peppermint Variety ($13) that you can buy online or at the supermarket, but it's also easy to make your own fresh, homemade peppermint tea in your kitchen.
