the menopause magic blend
five seeds and spices, ground together and kept in a jar by the stove
long before anyone called it a protocol, these five sat in the kitchen already. black sesame, flaxseed, chia, ceylon cinnamon and turmeric, toasted, ground together into a soft brown powder and kept in a jar by the stove. a spoonful a day, stirred into whatever the morning allows.
what you need
- 100 g ground flaxseed
- 100 g chia seeds
- 100 g black sesame, raw
- 2 tbsp ceylon cinnamon
- 2 tbsp ground turmeric
- a pinch of black pepper, if you like
- a dry pan, a grinder, and a clean jar with a tight lid
the ritual
- toast the sesame in a dry pan on low heat until it smells warm, about three minutes. let it cool completely.
- tip everything into the grinder together, chia included, and grind until it turns into a soft brown powder.
- spoon it into a clean, dry jar and close the lid tightly.
- take two heaped tablespoons a day, about thirty grams. in yoghurt, in porridge, stirred through soup, or in a glass of water if the morning is in a hurry.
- drink water with it. there is a great deal of fibre in here. if seeds are new to you, start with one spoon a day for the first week and let your body catch up.
a note of care
contains sesame. a traditional kitchen blend, shared with love, not medical advice. speak with your doctor first if you take blood thinners or blood pressure medication, if you are pregnant or nursing, or if you live with something hormone-sensitive. flaxseed, chia and turmeric each thin the blood a little, and here they are together in one jar.
