Question:
Hi... I was just wondering if anyone knew anything about flax seed and it being a trigger for an OB. Before being diagnosed with HSV, I ate flax on a daily basis due to it's high omega conetent. But now I hear you are supposed to steer clear of nuts and seeds. Would this include flax?

Answer:
The information that I got from an herbalist who specializes in treating herpes is that flax seed and hemp seeds are actually good for herpes (maybe he didn't say good but definitely not harmful).

Answer:
Thank you so much for your post! It would be a shame to cut them out of my diet!
