Seed Cycling: A Natural Approach to Regulate Your Menstrual Cycle

If your cycle has been irregular, painful, or unpredictable, seed cycling might be worth a try. It’s a gentle, food-based approach that can help support your body’s natural rhythm.

What Is Seed Cycling?

Involves eating specific seeds during different phases of your menstrual cycle to support estrogen and progesterone levels.

How It Works:

• Follicular Phase (Days 1–14): 1 tablespoon each of ground flaxseed and pumpkin seeds.
• Luteal Phase (Days 15–28): 1 tablespoon each of ground sesame and sunflower seeds.

These seeds contain lignans, zinc, selenium, and healthy fats that can gently nudge your hormones back into balance.

Tips for Getting Started:

-> Grind your seeds fresh for better absorption.

-> Add them to smoothies, oatmeal, or salads.

-> Be consistent for at least 3 cycles to notice a difference.

While seed cycling isn’t a magic fix, it’s a simple and empowering step toward a more balanced cycle. Your body is giving you clues—let’s support it naturally, one seed at a time.
