As women, our menstrual cycles and hormone levels can often feel unpredictable - especially with irregular cycles, health conditions, or during menopause. But did you know the lunar cycle can guide your seed cycling routine to help restore hormonal balance?
By syncing your seed cycling with the moon phases, you can support your body’s natural production of oestrogen and progesterone - even if your cycle is irregular. Let’s explore how the moon’s phases align with seed cycling to balance your hormones.
New Moon to Full Moon: Follicular Phase
The two weeks between the new moon and full moon match the follicular phase of your menstrual cycle. During this phase, your body produces more oestrogen in preparation for ovulation. If your cycle is irregular, this lunar phase helps boost oestrogen levels.
Our Seed Cycle Phase 1 mix contains ground, organic flaxseeds and pumpkin seeds, perfect for use from the new moon to the full moon. These seeds are rich in phytoestrogens and zinc—both vital for hormone regulation.
Flaxseeds: Help balance oestrogen by mimicking its effects and supporting hormonal harmony.
Pumpkin Seeds: Rich in zinc, these seeds support progesterone production, preparing your body for the next phase.
Full Moon to New Moon: Luteal Phase
From the full moon to the new moon, this phase mirrors the luteal phase. Here, progesterone dominates, preparing the body for potential pregnancy. Even without ovulation, this phase balances progesterone levels.
Switch to our Phase 2 mix - ground organic sunflower and sesame seeds, rich in selenium and Vitamin E, which support progesterone production and the less desirable symptoms of your menstrual cycle.
Sunflower Seeds: Packed with Vitamin E to support hormone balance and reduce hot flashes.
Sesame Seeds: Rich in selenium and magnesium, these help reduce mood swings and bloating, and improve sleep.
Benefits of Seed Cycling with the Lunar Cycle:
Natural Hormone Regulation: Mimics your body’s rhythm to balance hormones.
Body Awareness: Encourages a deeper connection to your body’s response to hormonal shifts.
Stress Reduction: Following the lunar cycle brings order and predictability during hormonal changes.
Seed Cycling for Irregular Cycles and Menopause
For women in perimenopause, menopause, or post-menopause, the lunar cycle offers an intuitive way to support hormone health when your periods are unpredictable or have stopped. Seed cycling with the lunar phases helps:
Balance oestrogen and progesterone.
Reduce symptoms like hot flashes, dryness skin, irritability and brain fog.
Support overall health with nutrients like omega-3s, zinc, magnesium, and selenium, vital for brain, heart, bone, and thyroid health.
Both Phase 1 and Phase 2 of our Seed Cycling mix offer an easy way to nourish your body and support your hormones throughout your menstrual journey.
How To Track Your Lunar Cycle: Aligning with the moon’s phases can guide practices like seed cycling for hormone balance. You can track lunar cycles using:
