The Ultimate Ayurvedic Guide to Seed Cycling for Hormone Balance | Yogatation

Seed cycling is one of those simple, no-fuss remedies that can make a big difference. But when you pair it with Ayurvedic wisdom? It gets even better.

Let me walk you through what it is, how it works, and how to personalize it based on your body.

What Is Seed Cycling?

Seed cycling uses specific seeds during different phases of your cycle to support hormonal shifts:

Follicular Phase (Days 1–14): Flax + pumpkin = support estrogen

Luteal Phase (Days 15–28): Sunflower + sesame = support progesterone

These seeds contain lignans, zinc, selenium, and healthy fats that promote balance.

Why It Works (Hormone Science Made Simple)

Your hormones are deeply tied to:

• Gut health

• Liver detox

• Inflammation

• Micronutrient levels

Seeds support all of these! Plus, they’re easy to integrate.

When Ayurveda Meets Seed Cycling

Ayurveda reminds us:

• No one-size-fits-all

• Honor your digestion (don’t eat raw seeds if you’re bloated)

• Use spices to support absorption (like cinnamon, cardamom, ginger)

How to Start Seed Cycling (Without the Overwhelm)

1. Buy organic, ground seeds

2. Store in fridge

3. Add to oatmeal, soups, smoothies

Optional Ayurvedic upgrades:

• Add turmeric to luteal phase blends

• Blend flax with cinnamon during your bleed

My Results (and Client Wins)

Personally, seed cycling helped me:

• Ease PMS

• Regulate my cycle

• Feel less inflamed

And my clients? More energy, less pain, smoother periods.

Let’s balance your hormones gently, with nature as your guide. You don’t have to fight your cycle. You just need to listen to it.
