Seed cycling is an easy and functional way to get nutrients in the body to help women rebalance their hormones. The routine uses four seeds, 1. Pumpkin 2. Flax 3. Sunflower 4. Sesame, in a specific combination daily. The blend correlates with what phase of the menstrual cycle they are in, follicular or luteal. The seeds in this combination provide the body with the essential nutrients needed to regulate Estrogen and Progesterone levels.
Seed cycling is a practice that is often directed by nutritionists, endocrinologists, and homeopathic medicine practitioners to support women’s health challenges such as cramping, acne, PMS, and regulating the cycle. In some cases, women with PCOS, fertility issues, and menopause have been advised to use seed cycling in their daily nutrition regimen.
