Menstruating on a cleanse is not
the most fun but it is cleansing
and there are options to make it
easier.

I can also recommend using ginseng
herbal tea while you are on your
cycle~~
Benefits of Ginseng
The benefits of long term usage of ginseng have been realized by the North American and European populations only since the late 1960s. As awareness of ginseng's properties steadily increase, so does its popularity. Ginseng's value is mainly as a preventative. It should be taken over a long period of time to stimulate rejuvenation and virility. Indications are the best long term benefits are achieved with a dosage of between 500 and 1500 mg (milligrams) per day. For therapeutic use, a dosage of 2000 mg per day is recommended.
Ginseng may be effective for treating colds, coughs, rheumatism, neuralgia, gout, diabetes, anemia insomnia, stress, headache, backache and double vision. Women find it helpful in normalizing menstruation and easing childbirth. In an experiment study in Eastern Europe, ginseng was used effectively as a mouth was against Periodontal Disease which is a progressive destruction of the supporting structures of the teeth. Ginseng also counteracts the effects of physical and emotional stress, enhances memory, counteracts fatigue without caffeine, and improves stamina. Medically, ginseng stimulates the immune system, by spuring the production of the body's own virus fighting chemicals, helps reduce cholesterol levels in the blood, has anti-clotting effects, reducing risk of arterial blood clots, helps control diabetes by reducing blood Sugar levels, is known as an antioxidant, preventing the cumulative cell damage researchers believe cumulates in cancer, protects the liver from the effects of drug, alcohol and toxins, minimizes cell damage from radiation, and increases intestinal absorption of nutrients.

For your iron needs, Blackstrap Molasses,
UNsulphured, is allowed on the Master Cleanse.
You can use it instead of the Maple Syrup, OR
you can take a spoon by mouth when you are
feeling weak. This will not interfere with
the cleanse, especially if you are cleansing
for cleansing purposes.
Here is some info~~
"Organic Black Strap Molasses - Unsulphered - A good source of Potassium, Calcium and iron. Blackstrap molasses is a very good source of iron. Particularly for menstruating women, who are more at risk for iron deficiency, boosting iron stores with blackstrap molasses is a good idea--especially because, in comparison to red meat, a well known source of iron, blackstrap molasses provides more iron for less calories and is totally fat-free. Iron is an integral component of hemoglobin, which transports oxygen from the lungs to all body cells, and is also part of key enzyme systems for energy production and metabolism. And, if you're pregnant or lactating, your needs for iron increase. Growing children and adolescents also have increased needs for iron. Just 2 teaspoons of blackstrap molasses will sweetly provide you with 13.3% of the daily recommended value for iron. Blackstrap molasses is a very good source of calcium. Molasses is also an excellent source of copper and manganese and a very good source of potassium, and magnesium."
