What is Seed Cycling?

Seed cycling is a natural approach to hormone regulation, beneficial for women experiencing hormonal imbalances associated with conditions like Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). The practice involves consuming specific seeds during different menstrual cycle phases to support optimal hormone levels and if the irregular menstrual cycle then women can incorporate the seed cycle with the moon cycle.

How Seed Cycling Helps with PCOS

For women with PCOS, managing hormone levels is a very important task. The principle behind the Seed is that different seeds provide essential nutrients that help the body balance estrogen and progesterone. The two primary phases of a woman’s cycle are the follicular phase and the luteal phase, and the specific seed has the ability to support specific hormones the seeds you consume during these times are tailored to support each phase as well.

During the first phase of the cycle which is the follicular phase (days 1-14 of the cycle), it's recommended to eat flaxseeds and pumpkin seeds. Flaxseeds are rich in lignans, which can help regulate estrogen levels, while pumpkin seeds provide zinc, essential for hormone production and reproductive health.

During the second phase of the cycle which is the luteal phase (days 15-28), recommended to consume sunflower seeds and sesame seeds. Sunflower seeds increase progesterone levels due to their high vitamin E content, and sesame seeds contain beneficial lignans that further support hormone balance. Progesterone is important for preparing the uterus line for embryo implantation after fertilization happens. A minimal level of progesterone helps in miscarriage.

Incorporating Seed Cycling with the Moon Cycle

This approach is based on the ancient belief that the moon's cycles influence women’s cycles. By starting seed cycling with the new moon and following the seed recommendations accordingly, practitioners can potentially enhance the benefits of this practice.

The connection to lunar phases offers a holistic way to approach health and well-being. Just as the moon waxes and wanes, understanding the ebb and flow of one’s hormonal health can empower women to take control of their bodies. Not only does this practice promote hormonal balance, but it also encourages mindfulness about diet and natural rhythms.

In conclusion, seed cycling may offer a beneficial toolkit for women facing the challenges of PCOS. By using the right seeds at different phases of the menstrual cycle, women can nurture their hormonal health and support their overall well-being. Whether or not aligned with lunar cycles, the key is consistent and mindful incorporation of these seeds into daily dietary habits.
