What Is Seed Cycling & Why Should You Care?
Seed Cycling & the Full Moon A Natural Rhythm for Hormone Health
In a world that often encourages us to override our natural rhythms, seed cycling offers a gentle, food-based way to reconnect with the wisdom of your body — and the lunar cycle above.
With the Full Moon rising on 10 July 2025, now is the perfect time to align your wellness practices with nature’s cycles. Let’s dive into how seed cycling works, why the moon matters, and how this ancient practice can help you restore hormonal balance — naturally.
What is Seed Cycling?
Seed cycling is a functional nutrition method that involve seating specific seeds during the two main phases of your menstrual cycle — the follicular phase and the luteal phase. These seeds support estrogen and progesterone levels, which play a vital role in energy, mood, skin, fertility, and overall hormonal health.
Here’s how it works:
Phase 1: Follicular (Days 1–14 or New Moon → Full Moon)
Seeds: Pumpkin + Flax (Linseed)
These seeds are rich in Omega-3s, zinc, and lignans, which help regulate estrogen and support healthy ovulation. They're also packed with antioxidants and essential minerals that nourish the skin and nervous system.
Phase 2: Luteal (Days 15–28 or Full Moon → New Moon)
Seeds: Sunflower + Black Sesame
This phase supports progesterone production, vital for reducing PMS and maintaining emotional balance.
* Black sesame provides calcium, iron, and antioxidants.
* Sunflower seeds offer vitamin E, healthy fats, and protein to support skin, immunity, and hormone stability.
What Seed Cycling Supports
Seed cycling doesn’t just address monthly symptoms — it nurtures whole-body wellness from the inside out.
✔PMS & PMDD
✔Hormonal acne & skin imbalance
✔Sleep, mood, and energy levels
✔Post-birth control hormone recalibration
✔PCOS & fertility support
✔Menopausal transition
It’s simple. It’s natural. And it’s deeply aligned with the body you live in.
Whether you’re new to seed cycling or returning to a rhythm your body already knows, this is your sign to sync up and feel amazing again.
The full moon reminds us of the power of cycles — waxing, waning, reflecting, and renewing. Seed cycling is more than just a wellness trend; it’s an invitation to listen to your body, support it with nature’s bounty, and embrace balance on your terms.
With every spoonful of seeds, you’re not just nourishing your hormones — you’re reconnecting to something ancient, beautiful, and powerful.
Why the Moon?
Your body and the moon share a natural rhythm. The lunar cycle lasts about 29.5 days—almost identical to the average menstrual cycle.
If your period is irregular, missing, or you're in peri-menopause or menopause, you can sync your seed cycling with the moon’s phases instead of your period:
* New Moon → Full Moon: Flax + Pumpkin (Estrogen support)
* Full Moon → New Moon: Sunflower + Sesame (Progesterone support)
This approach works beautifully for:
* Irregular cycles or amenorrhea
* Post-pill hormone rebalance
* Perimenopause or menopause
* PCOS and endometriosis support
