Frustrated by PMS or PMDD Symptoms? Mood swings, irritability, cravings, and pain can feel like a constant battle.
How Seed Cycling Can Help Stabilise Your Mood and Reduce PMS Symptoms
Seed cycling is a natural way to support hormone balance and reduce PMS/PMDD symptoms.
✓ Stabilises Mood Swings: The nutrients in flax and sunflower seeds help balance estrogen and progesterone, key hormones in regulating emotional health.
✓ Eases Bloating & Cravings: Seeds rich in fiber and healthy fats improve digestion, reducing the bloating and cravings that often accompany PMS.
✓ Supports Emotional Well-Being: Seeds like flax contain omega-3s, which are linked to improving mood and reducing inflammation, often exacerbated by PMS/PMDD.
✓ Reduces Physical Symptoms: Sesame and sunflower seeds are rich in zinc and magnesium, which can help alleviate common PMS symptoms like headaches and breast tenderness.
