Nurturing your cycle with good nutrition
Seed cycling offers a natural way to help regulate your hormones to aid with mentrsation, fertility and manage undesirable period symptoms.
As your hormones shift throughout your cycle the body requires different vitamins, minerals and plant medicine to support this natural function.
Eating a range of seeds amongst other nutrient dense foods through the phases of the cycle supports the production of Estrogen (Days 1-14) and Progesterone (days 15-28)
This is of course not the same for everyone.
Seed cycling offers a range of Essential fatty acids, lignans, magnesium and zinc all of which are important to keep a balance of hormones and detoxification.
