Seed cycling is a natural approach that uses different types of seeds to help regulate hormonal balance in women throughout their menstrual cycle. It is based on the belief that certain seeds contain nutrients that support specific phases of the menstrual cycle.

Here's a breakdown of how seed cycling typically works for women:

1. Follicular Phase (Day 1-14): During the first half of the menstrual cycle, also known as the follicular phase, flaxseeds and pumpkin seeds are typically recommended. Flaxseeds contain lignans, which help balance estrogen levels, while pumpkin seeds provide zinc and essential fatty acids.

2. Luteal Phase (Day 15-28): In the second half of the menstrual cycle, also known as the luteal phase, sesame seeds and sunflower seeds are commonly used. Sesame seeds are a good source of lignans and vitamin E, which may support progesterone production. Sunflower seeds contain selenium and magnesium, which are important for hormone balance.
