Frontier brand cinnamon scored very high for heavy metals and PFAS, so I’m not comfortable with this brand anymore.

In reply to Yael Scutaru. From what I've seen the components of both seeds complement each other so you may not see as much benefit with just using one during a cycle. And ideally, they should be freshly ground to increase nutrient absorption.

Do you have to consume both types of seeds or can you just double up on one type (i.e. flax only or sesame only)? Also, do they have to be ground? I know flax seeds should be ground but what about other seeds?

Great article, thank you! Just wondering what to do in the situation of breastfeeding or pregnancy. I am breastfeeding currently so I probably won’t have a period for almost a year. Can I benefit from the cycling? Or would any of the seeds be ok at any time? Same for pregnancy, would there be any special protocol? Thanks!!

Yes, this helped me tremendously with a very painful, exhausting and bloody period after i finished breastfeeding and got my period back. I did it for about 2 years. Tried a few months without it, and this were better, but not great, so i did it for another year or two after that. Im off completely now and have been for about a year. All’s well. I did have a few recent cycles where i was more grumpy and tired. This time itried Dong Qui and that’s worked too.
