Both fenugreek and flaxseed are safe to take in large amounts. Do you have a kitchen scale you could use to weight the teaspoon?
Flaxseed can't be digested if it's whole though, the shell is too hard so it must be broken first. You can grind them in a coffee mill or put them in a clean plastic baggy and break them with something flat and heavy (like a cooking pot, but don't damage your pot!!).
I don't know the other 2 herbs... if this helps anyone else identify them:
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashwagandha aka: Withania somnifera / Indian ginseng / poison gooseberry / winter cherry
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shatavari aka: Asparagus racemosus / Satavar / Shatamull
Don't forget to try different things, you may respond better if you include massage or topical herbs. Massage is free and for topical you can make a boobie batter with the herbs you already have
