What is Seed Cycling & Why Does It Matter?
Seed cycling is a natural way to support your hormonal balance by incorporating specific seeds into your daily routine. It works by providing the body with key nutrients that promote the production, metabolism, and detoxification of estrogen and progesterone at the right times in your cycle.
Whether you’re looking to ease PMS symptoms, support fertility, or navigate perimenopause, seed cycling can be a gentle yet powerful tool to bring harmony to your hormones.
The Nutrients in Seed Cycling & How They Help
Each phase of seed cycling focuses on specific seeds that deliver essential nutrients to support different hormonal needs:
🌑 Phase 1 (Follicular Phase: Days 1-14 or New Moon to Full Moon)
Flaxseeds & Pumpkin Seeds – Rich in lignans that help balance estrogen levels, plus zinc to support progesterone production.
How it helps: Supports healthy estrogen metabolism and prepares the body for ovulation.
🌕 Phase 2 (Luteal Phase: Days 15-28 or Full Moon to New Moon)
Sesame & Sunflower Seeds – High in vitamin E to support progesterone production and selenium to aid liver detoxification.
How it helps: Encourages the body to produce and maintain optimal progesterone levels, reducing PMS and supporting a healthy cycle.
If your cycle is irregular, you can follow the moon’s phases as a guide. This is especially helpful for women going through menopause, coming off birth control, or experiencing hormonal imbalances.
