Seed Therapy to balance hormones for Women's Health

Women are powerhouses, juggling multiple roles from demanding careers to family responsibilities, all while frequently traveling. This dynamic lifestyle, while rewarding, often leaves little time for preparing or accessing healthy meals. Amidst the hustle, maintaining hormonal balance can be a challenge. Hormonal balance is crucial for overall health. Fluctuations in hormone levels can lead to various health issues, including irregular menstrual cycles, mood swings, weight gain, and even fertility problems. So how can women balance their hormones naturally and efficiently?

The power of Seed Therapy and Cyclic Living

Seed therapy is a natural method of supporting hormonal balance by eating different seeds during the different phases of the menstrual cycle. Each type of seed provides specific nutrients that help support the production and metabolism of hormones.

As women, we are blessed with an inner cycle that forever protects and guides us

How to Incorporate Seed Therapy Easily into Your Routine

2. Grind the Seeds: Ground seeds are easier to digest and allow better absorption of nutrients. A great way to keep them easily available is in seed mix boxes labeled for your menstrual cycle. You can then easily travel with them and ensure a daily intake by adding then to smoothies, oatmeal, yogurt, salads, or simply eating them on their own.
