A Brief History of Seed Cycling

Seed cycling, the practice of consuming specific seeds during different phases of the menstrual cycle to support hormonal balance, may seem like a modern wellness trend. However, its roots are deeply connected to the natural rhythms of health and nutrition observed in traditional medicine and cultures.


Ancient Origins

Seed cycling as we know it today evolved from the foundational principles of Ayurvedic medicine and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), which emphasised the importance of nutrition in maintaining balance within the body’s energy and hormones.


Both systems recognised seeds and nuts as powerful foods, valued for their ability to support reproductive health and overall vitality:


  • Flaxseeds were revered in ancient Egypt for their health benefits and nutrient density.

  • Sesame seeds were used in Indian and Chinese medicine for their energy-boosting and hormone-supporting properties.

  • Pumpkin seeds were utilized by Native American cultures for their nourishing and fertility-enhancing qualities.


Modern Seed Cycling

The structured practice of seed cycling emerged in recent decades as nutrition science advanced, and researchers identified the specific nutrients in seeds that support hormonal balance. For example:

  • Lignans in flaxseeds and sesame seeds act as phytoestrogens, helping to regulate oestrogen levels.

  • Zinc in pumpkin seeds supports progesterone production and reproductive health.

  • Magnesium in sunflower seeds reduces PMS symptoms and promotes relaxation.


Today, Phase 1 blends (ground flaxseeds and pumpkin seeds) is recommended during the follicular phase to support oestrogen levels, while Phase 2 blends (ground sunflower and sesame seeds) are used during the luteal phase to promote progesterone balance.
