Yes a 1cup each day of either one ( pick one ) should be ok , spearmint is a notch better for your condition though a combination (alternate day) will work well too.
Pls contact if you have any further questions .

Both spearmint tea and dandelion root tea have potential benefits for PCOS-related symptoms like acne and weight loss, but they work differently.
• Spearmint tea: Studies suggest it may help reduce androgen levels, which can be beneficial for managing acne and hormonal imbalances in PCOS.
• Dandelion root tea: Known for its diuretic properties and potential liver detox benefits, it might help with digestion and overall weight management.
You can safely drink one cup of each tea per day. However, it’s important to remember that lifestyle modifications, including a balanced diet and regular exercise, play a key role in managing PCOS and weight loss.
Next Steps
Monitor your response to both teas and consult with Dietician for detailed diet plan
