Seed cycling is a natural remedy for hormone balancing. It aids in hormone balancing by regulating estrogen levels in the first half of your menstrual cycle, and regulating progesterone levels in the second half.

The concept is to consume nourishing seeds that are specific for your hormonal cycle. This is why the seeds used to support the follicular phase are different than the seeds used to support your luteal phase. 

If you're unsure of what seed cycling is, refer this article written by a fellow food and nutrition blogger. 

Benefits to women who seed cycle may include:
Regulating periods
Reducing symptoms of PCOS and endometriosis
Reduce hormone related acne
Ease symptoms of PMS such as cramping, hot flashes and fatigue.

The use of our Yoni tonic makes these energy balls incredibly supportive to women's hormones. The Yoni tonic is made from shatavari and maca that may help to boost fertility, manage hormones and encourage a healthy libido.
