What is seed cycling

Seed Cycling is a centuries old practice to support hormone balance in women with the help of seeds to naturally balance female hormones throughout different phases of the menstrual cycle.

A number of factors affect this delicate balance which includes:

The two main female reproductive hormones:

Oestrogen and Progesterone.These hormones naturally fluctuate over time, and any deviation from your usual levels can result in a range of symptoms. Collectively, these symptoms are often associated with premenstrual syndrome (PMS)

In menopause or perimenopausal women

after periods stop, there is still need to maintain optimum amount of female hormones in body

Various modern options to fix these issues

Your general practitioner might suggest treatments like hormone replacement therapy (HRT), pain relievers, or antidepressants to alleviate symptoms. While these medications can provide relief, they often address only the symptoms rather than the underlying causes of hormonal imbalance.
