* some extra notes *
You may find taking the herbs on an empty stomach effective.
Also with the loose herbs, you can take them as eve did: mixed into yogurt and other foods
if you cannot find these herbs nearby www.mountainroseherbs.com sells them all, however you may need to buy a coffee/seed grinder to grind the oat seed (oat tops), hops flowers, and flax-seed, which is easy enough.
If you can find hops flowers for cheap then do so , this website sells them at an expensive rate, However their products are high quality.
to avoid over buying I came up with the amounts you'd need for each herb in powdered format over a 2 year period, according to the above mentioned amounts:
fenugreek and hops at 1800mg/day = 2.89 lbs/2 years each
alfalfa and fennel at 400mg/day = 10.30 ounces/2 years each
flax and soy powder(if used) at 1000mg/day = 1.61 lbs/2 years each
Oat seed at 800mg/day = 1.29 lbs/2 years
I hope this helps!
