Seed cycling is a simple and natural way to balance hormones for us ladies who have irregular periods, PMS, fibrocystic breasts and many other hormone-related symptoms. The easy and tasty hormonal balance system just requires you add two tablespoons of the prescribed ground seeds to your diet every day for certain periods of your menstrual cycle.
The protocol calls for 1 tablespoon of flaxseed and 1 tablespoon of pumpkin seeds during your follicular phase. The follicular phase is from the first day of your period until ovulation (around day 14).
During the Luteal Phase, you use the same amount of sunflower and sesame seeds. You’ll do this until your next period starts.
