NatoPMT Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 I have never suffered terribly with PMS or period pains, it was bad enough to make me aware that I had to watch my mood and make sure I didn’t fall into a pit of unreasonable grumpiness. The pains were bad enough to wake me in the middle of the night and not allow me to get back to sleep unless I took painkillers. I did used to feel very tired, even a bit fluy for the first day. However, for the last 6 months or so, I have been sprinkling sunflower seeds, linseeds and pumpkin seeds on my lunch 5 times a week. The last few months I have realised I have had no PMS at all, and my period starts with no warning at all, no pain, none of the usual symptoms. I am assuming it’s the seeds, I started having them for lunch because they make my lunch much tastier, but the effects have been amazing. I am vegetarian so the omegas they contain are quite valuable to me – I wasn’t expecting the PMS going too. Try it, but give it a good few months before you expect results Link to post Share on other sites

Outcast Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 Pumpkin seeds are high in magnesium and manganese, Sunflower seeds have a lot of vitamin E in them as well as magnesium and manganese, and linseeds/flax seeds are very high in Omega 3s. PMS sites will recommend magnesium and vitamin E to help so it's very possible that you're getting enough of both in the seeds to notice an effect. Link to post Share on other sites
Author NatoPMT Posted November 7, 2005 Author Share Posted November 7, 2005 I have had a quick look at linseeds this morning on the internet and have read that they have a regulatory effect on hormones, so could well be a combination of all the benefits. whatever it is, its worked for me.
