Luteal Phases
Seed Cycling is a natural approach to balancing hormones by consuming specific seeds during different phases of the menstrual cycle. This practice supports hormonal health by providing essential nutrients that aid in the production and regulation of estrogen and progesterone. Seed cycling can be beneficial for women experiencing hormonal imbalances, irregular periods, PMS or menopausal symptoms.
Luteal Phase (Days 15-28)
The Luteal phase occurs after ovulation and lasts until the next menstrual cycle begins. Progesterone levels rise, which helps prepare the uterus for a potential pregnancy and supports overall hormonal balance.
- Seeds to Use: Sesame seeds and Sunflower seeds
- Key Benefits: Sesame and sunflower seeds are packed with omega-6 fatty acids, zinc and selenium, which help boost progesterone levels and balance hormones.
Why Seed Cycling with the Moon Phase?
Seed cycling with the moon phases aligns with natural rhythms, which can be especially helpful for women with irregular cycles or those who are post-menopausal. In ancient traditions, the new moon was linked to the start of the menstrual cycle (follicular phase), while the full moon was associated with ovulation (luteal phase).
Using the moon’s phases as a guide can help regulate your cycle by syncing with nature’s natural cycles, even if you are not menstruating or if your cycle is irregular.
