New to seed cycling for hormone balance?

Let’s get you up to speed! Seed cycling is an all-natural technique which combines the best of nutritional and naturopathic practices to restore hormonal balance for women. It is a gentle technique that has been used for generations to harness the power of four natural seeds (flaxseeds, pumpkin, sunflower, and sesame seeds) throughout our 28-day menstrual cycle. The natural oils, vitamins and minerals in each seed help women experiencing hormonal issues to unlock optimal hormone balance.  Seed cycling has been used for hundreds of years to alleviate symptoms associated with hormonal imbalances, such as acne, menstrual cramps and PMS.  Whether you’re coming off the contraceptive pill, trying for a baby or going through menopause, seed cycling can guide you gently through some of those key transitional hormonal periods of your life. 

Wondering how seed cycling helps with fertility and conception? 

It has been found to balance the two main hormones affecting pregnancy (Progesterone and Estrogen), which can assist with falling pregnant. Please note: Seed cycling is not recommended for women past their first trimester of pregnancy. Consult with your healthcare provider if you are pregnant or trying to fall pregnant, prior to consuming.
