Hi!
I know I'm not biologically male, but thought I'd add my two cents here anyways! I have had serious acne and other symptoms from high DHT, and so first I tried drinking spearmint tea, and was drinking 1 cup 3 times a day, which was working GREAT for me. My face was clear in about a week!
Then after a couple months of that, I started to get severe pain in my esophagus every time I swallowed anything, and then realized it was the mint tea, so I stopped that completely and the pain went away. I tested it again after a week or two, and the same pain came back immediately. So just be aware if you do get any throat discomfort, it might be the tea. I think it can relax the lower muscles of the esophagus, also causing increased acid reflux.
But other than that, I found it to be very effective for me (even though I probably don't have anywhere near male levels of testosterone), even more effective than saw palmetto which is what I've been using lately. I might have to try chinese skullcap that Abidrew mentioned.
Good luck with pepper/spear-mint!
