10 tips on how seed cycling can revolutionise your cycle

• Start the follicular phase with the right seed combination

During the first 14 days of your cycle, take one tablespoon each of ground flaxseed and pumpkin seeds daily. This blend supports oestrogen production, helps rebuild the uterine lining and supplies key nutrients such as zinc and fibre.

• Switch to sesame and sunflower seeds in the luteal phase

From day 15 to 28 of your cycle, take one tablespoon of sesame and sunflower seeds daily. These seeds encourage progesterone production and provide valuable minerals like magnesium, calcium and selenium that support your physical and hormonal balance.

• Grind the seeds before eating

To absorb nutrients optimally, grind or blend the seeds thoroughly. Whole seeds are often excreted undigested, which can lead to a loss of important components.

• Prepare the seeds fresh

The high-quality fatty acids and phytosterols they contain are delicate and can go rancid quickly – especially flaxseed. Buy whole seeds and grind them fresh each day to achieve maximum effect.

• Incorporate the seeds into your diet in many ways

Sprinkle the ground seeds, for example, over muesli, yoghurt or smoothies. You can also use them as a topping for salads, soups or curries and easily integrate them into your daily diet.

• Observe the recommended amount

Take one tablespoon of the respective seeds daily to achieve the best possible effect. Excessive consumption can cause digestive discomfort and is therefore not advisable.

• Be patient and stay consistent

Positive effects, such as a more stable cycle or improved skin, usually appear only after several months of regular use. Continue the method for a longer period to achieve lasting results.

• Keep a cycle diary

Record changes and your moods. This helps you better track the impact of seed cycling on your body and make adjustments if needed.

• Seed cycling is particularly helpful for cycle disturbances

If you suffer from irregular periods, PMS or menstrual pain, the method can help regulate your cycle and relieve symptoms – a natural way to bring your body back into balance.

• Choose organic quality

Use organic seeds where possible to ensure you do not ingest unwanted pesticide or chemical residues. This supports the holistic approach of the method, which aims for natural balance.
