Homemade Vegan seed cycling energy balls help to balance your hormones for a healthy menstrual cycle. Made with seeds, dates, spices, almond butter, and oats. A delicious and easy way to add seed cycling into your routine!
Seed cycling is a natural way to balance your hormones via food during different phases of your menstrual cycle. Many women struggle with a difficult menstrual cycle such as painful periods, cramps, fatigue, bloating, acne, body aches, breast soreness, irregular cycles, PMS, heavy or light bleeding, infertility, and more. These symptoms are not normal. These symptoms usually take place when there is some kind of hormonal imbalance.
Pumpkin seeds and flax seeds are high in zinc and lignans, which naturally support estrogen production, help clear excess estrogen from the body, and prepare the body for progesterone secretion in the next phase. Both the seeds are great sources of omega-3 fatty acids and other minerals which help to reduce inflammation.
