I’ve heard about this and find it fascinating! Intrigued to see if anyone has tried this x
Flax seeds are meant to be amazing with helping hormones! I try add them in to anything that would work like Yogurt, Acai bows and smoothies x
Yes I do this! In your follicular phase (first 14 days after your period ends), you should take a tablespoon of flax & pumpkin seeds each every day, then when you enter your luteal-menstrual phase (second 14-ish days of your cycle), you take 1 tablespoon of sesame & sunfower seeds.
I usually mix the flax seeds into any yoghurt/porridge and throw the other ones on top of a salad or veggies!
this sounds so interesting! I want to try
This sounds really interesting! Do you notice a difference in how you feel when you do this? If so, what does it help? x
I can’t single out what effects seed cycling in general has because I try to eat in accordance with my cycle but I find that overall aligning your eating habits with your cycle really helps with mitigating PMS symptoms, less period pains & less breakouts - all good things
