Health / Seed Cycling To Balance Hormones by waltopluv(f): 11:32pm On Aug 25, 2018
SEED CYCLING FOR HORMONE BALANCE AND HAPPINESS
So what’s all this about seed cycling you might ask? Does it work?

From what I’ve gathered over the years, it’s a very simple protocol where you rotate specific seeds during the month in order to balance progesterone and estrogen in the body. It’s a completely natural approach that guides our body into a natural rhythm that nudges hormones in the right direction by either detoxification or stimulating production. Excess hormones can be processed and eliminated while deficiencies can be increased as needed in order to balance irregularities, reversing amenorrhea, and easing cramping and PMS symptoms.


For women in particular, it’s important to have the right amount of each hormone, not too much, and not too little.

THE MOON AND YOUR CYCLE
Long ago, before we became surrounded by artificial light, our bodies were in tune with the waning and waxing of the moon. This was one of the ways our bodies stayed in a balanced hormonal rhythm which is 28 days; the same time it takes for one lunar cycle to complete (give or take a fraction of a day). This is not merely a coincidence! We are in fact supposed to be most fertile during the full moon and the least fertile during the new moon. Seed cycling embodies this natural rhythm making it an easy and all natural protocol your body will recognize.


WHAT CAN SEED CYCLING DO FOR YOU?
Seed cycling can help ease and even eliminate some of these hormone related symptoms:

• Acne
• Adrenal issues
• Bleeding that is too light
• Depression
• Endometriosis
• Excess abdominal fat caused by sugar overconsumption
• Excessive sweating
• Fatigue
• Heavy bleeding
• Infertility
• Insulin resistance
• Irregular periods
• Low libido
• Painful periods
• PCOS
• Peri-menopause
• PMS
• Post menopausal symptoms
• Sleep issues
• Sub-fertility
• Thyroid disorders


However, seed cycling should not be considered a quick fix from the get-go. Some people may experience relief in the first month, others may take 3-4 months before they start to notice improvements. Every body is different and it’s important to allow it to ease into a natural rhythm. Also note that severe cases of hormonal irregularity such as PCOS may not be totally reversed but eased.

HOW TO SEED CYCLE



First, you will need a way to grind your seeds daily. I recommend using a coffee grinder, blender, or food processor. A coffee grinder is by far the easiest method aside from chucking the seeds into your blender while making a smoothie (my personal favorite).

Also, keep your seeds in the fridge if possible to retain freshness.

Phase One- the Follicular Phase (days 1 through 14 of your cycle)

The follicular phase begins on the first day of your period and lasts until ovulation. If your cycle is absent, begin seed cycling on the new moon.


The goal during the follicular phase is to regulate the absorption and production of estrogen. The roll of estrogen is to prepare the body for ovulation. Having too little estrogen can inhibit ovulation from occurring while having too much estrogen can aggravate PMS symptoms.

Consuming balanced omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids during this phase promotes healthy and permeable cell membranes that allow for easy hormone circulation.

To do this with seed cycling you need to:

• Consume 1 TB each of raw freshly ground flax seeds and pumpkin seeds daily
• Take a high quality fish oil or vegan equivalent to get 1500-2000mg of EPA/DHA daily


The high amount of lignans in flax seeds are converted into enterolactone which block estrogen receptors. This ques the body to halt excess estrogen production.

Pumpkin seeds contain high amounts of omega-6 and zinc which supports reproductive health, immunity, and protein absorption.

***NOTE

If you suffer from low estrogen then you should omit the flax seeds or use them sparingly during this phase. I highly recommend getting your hormones tested before delving into hormones related protocols on your own.

Phase Two- The Luteal Phase (days 15 through 28)

The beginning of this phase is marked by ovulation.

The main goal during this phase is to raise progesterone levels by consuming omega-6 rich seeds to stimulate its production. The main task of progesterone is to build up the uterine lining in preparation for pregnancy. If pregnancy does not occur, progesterone naturally decreases and the lining is shed during the first day of your period. Progesterone balance is key not only for a healthy pregnancy but also for easing painful menstrual cramps.

To do this with seed cycling you need to:

• Consume 1 TB each of raw freshly ground sunflower seeds and sesame seeds daily
• Take 1500-2000mg of Evening Primrose Oil daily

Sunflower seeds are high in omega-6 and Vitamin E; a fat soluble vitamin that supports reproductive health. They also help the liver detox. An overburdened liver has been linked to painful cramping and menstrual irregularity among a number of other hormone imbalances.

Sesame seeds increase the bioavailability of sunflower seeds making them a perfect addition during this phase. They also contain high levels of lignans.

***NOTE

If you have low zinc levels, you will want to avoid using sesame seeds as they contain high levels of copper. When copper levels are high, zinc levels become low. If this is the case, simply omit the sesame seeds and just use sunflower seeds during this phase.



HOW TO TAKE THE SEEDS
Taking the seeds is pretty easy! The only thing is they must be raw when you consume them so you can’t get the same benefits if they’re added to recipe that needs to cook like pancakes, muffins, etc. You can add the seeds to any dehydrated recipe (like flax crackers etc) or my favorite, just throw them into your morning smoothie.

You can also use the ground seeds as a topping on oatmeal, cereals, and yogurt.

SEED CYCLING AND WHAT TO EXPECT
As I mentioned, this process can take a few months before you really start seeing results. You have to keep in mind that your hormones didn’t become imbalanced overnight. The first symptoms you should feel improvement in will be mood, less cravings, and less severe cramping. After about 3 months or so you should feel more centered, have less water retention, fewer breakouts, practically non-existent breast soreness, and be in tune with the moon!

Health / VITEX Powder (chaste Tree) by waltopluv(f): 11:22pm On Aug 25, 2018
How Vitex Works

Our current understanding of Vitex is that it has a supporting and regulating effect upon the pituitary gland. The pituitary is known as the “master gland” because it controls many vital bodily functions such as sending chemical signals to the ovaries, telling them how much hormones to make. This communication is known as the hormonal feedback loop.

Vitex has been shown in studies to:


Vitex is one of the best fertility herbs available to us when it comes to balancing hormones and regulating the menstrual cycle.

Inhibit follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH): Vitex increases the secretion of luteinizing hormone (LH), which in turn increases progesterone.
Lengthens a short luteal phase: Studies have shown Vitex to be effective at lengthening the luteal phase. While it does not contain any hormones itself, it does help the body to increase its own production of luteinizing hormone (promoting ovulation to occur), which in turns boosts progesterone levels during the luteal phase of the cycle.

Increased progesterone levels: Vitex has been shown to stimulate the formation of the corpus luteum. The corpus luteum is responsible for the secretion of progesterone. In a study of 45 women, 86% responded positively with normalized or significantly improved progesterone levels.

Reduces advancement of mild endometriosis: Vitex is used in Germany by gynecologists to treat mild endometriosis and prevent it from advancing.

May help prevent miscarriage: Vitex has a beneficial impact on progesterone levels. If miscarriages are due to low progesterone, Vitex may help to normalize or increase progesterone levels. Vitex may be considered safe to use during pregnancy, but make sure to consult with a healthcare practitioner when using this herb during pregnancy. Also make sure to read our ‘Use During Pregnancy’ section below.

Relieves PMS: Clinical research has shown that Vitex may be very beneficial for PMS symptoms, especially depression, headaches, rashes, acne, allergies and sensitivity of the breasts. In one study improvement of PMS by the first month was experienced by 32% of the women. By the third month 84% of the women experienced improvement of their PMS.

Lack of menstruation (amenorrhea): In a study of 15 women with amenorrhea, 65% had resumed a menstrual cycle by the sixth month of use. Progesterone levels also increased.

Irregular menstruation: Vitex has been shown to help balance both an absent menstrual cycle as well as aid a menstrual cycle that is heavy or too frequent.

Uterine cysts: Vitex has been found to be helpful at reducing cysts that are growing within the smooth muscle layer of the uterus.

Stabilization of menstruation after stopping birth-control pills: After discontinuing estrogen-containing birth control pills, Vitex taken for several months has been shown to help stabilize the cycle and induce ovulation more quickly


Vitex is a must use for fertility issues like Discharging milk in your breast when you are not pregnant, irregular period, lost period, PCOS, infertility.

Health / Fertility Detox Bath Soak For Infertility by waltopluv(f): 11:02pm On Aug 25, 2018
Fertility Detox bath soak for infertility.


More than 80% of the population is reported to have magnesium deficiency.


Virtually all processes in the body require this mineral. Muscle tension, insomnia, anxiety and irregular heartbeat can be attributed to deficiencies of vital magnesium.


This deficiency is even more problematic when facing a diagnosis of infertility, making it even more important for you to restore your levels.


One of the best home remedies for infertility is Epsom salt baths aka Fertility Detox bath soak.


Fertility Detox bath soak are highly effective as they address two very important infertility issues – Magnesium deficiency and Stress levels.


I now recommend that my clients take these Fertility detox baths to improve fertility as often as possible while we are working together.


In my humble opinion, the number of infertility cases, constitutes an epidemic. The use of these baths should not be underestimated.


In Epsom salt baths, I highly encourage the use of Oils with it. Using oils which are also therapeutic on your body will exponentially increase the effect of the bath soak.


The essential oils which have hormonal balancing effect helps balance hormonal imbalance. Not to mention the baking soda which have an extra effect on detoxification with the Magnesium.


It helps in an extraordinary way to assist in clearing toxins, causing blockages of inflammation in places such as the fallopian tubes to increasing mobility and blood circulation in the pelvis and uterus as well as to the heart and all your other vital organs.


Stress Levels and Infertility


The most important aspect, outside of the vital nutritional component, is that taking these baths forces you to stop everything and relax.


Stress is more damaging to our bodies than we realize. Stress contributing to issues of infertility is very high.


This time is also crucial to practice your breathing while directing your breath into your abdomen to increase blood and circulation to your pelvis.


It is also a very good idea to use this quiet time to allow any emotional issues that may arise to be released by gently repeating 'The Lord's prayer'.


I find it very therapeutic to use during a time of relaxation or during meditation.


The point is that you must do the work. Meditation has been shown in research time and time again to balance the body in physiological ways like balancing hormones, reducing cortisol levels and overall quality of life improvements such as stress reduction.


You are combining so many layers to your spa treatment session at home in the bath by soaking in the Fertility Detox bath salt, practicing a method of relaxation and then warm pressed abdominal massage.


This increase circulation and blood flow to your pelvic region and your reproductive organs and force the body into relaxation all by taking a bath? Yes, it is that easy.


How to use.


�Pour some Fertility Detox bath salt in a warm bath tub or small bucket


�Float in the bath tub or put your feet in the bucket for a soak. (If you are using the second option, please have a warm bath afterwards)


�Relax in the bath for at least 30 minutes, 3-5 times per week. Relax while in the tub. Focus on taking deep breaths and directing them into your abdomen.


�Drink a lot of distilled water before and after the bath soak to encourage detoxification.


�Then on your bed gently massage your lower abdomen in a circular manner with your massage oil.


�Do this daily. However, if you are actively trying to conceive, stop massaging during ovulation till you see your period again or get pregnant.


Note: Avoid doing abdominal massage if you could be pregnant!


I recommend taking your Fertility detox bath soak just before bedtime. A hot bath is an excellent way to unwind at the end of the day, and will encourage your body to get a restorative, restful sleep.

Endocrine balance tea is what you need.


This tea is amazingly wonderful because it has herbs blend that may help fix your menstrual disorders as it help balance your endocrine system.(this is where the journey of a healthy menstrual cycle start)


�The Dong quai in it works by promoting blood flow to the pelvic where it will stimulate an absent or scanty period. It also nourishes the blood because it is rich in iron.

One of the best uses is it helps women who are not menstruating to invite their menstruation back. The increased circulation also helps to strengthen and balance the uterus. Working to strengthen the uterus is vital for women with PCOS, since irregular cycles are common, which may cause the uterine muscles to become weak.

�The Green tea also helps tones the muscle of your uterus, builds your immunity, improves blood circulation, detoxify your body by toning your liver and kidney.


�Astragalus helps to protect the liver, a good antioxidant, reduces inflammation, and a good source of antiviral and antibacterial.


�Ligusticum wallichii also improves poor blood circulation, promotes blood flow, removes blood stasis, helps relieves indigestion, tones the liver and kidney.

�Your your reproductive organs are functioning well

�Your menstrual cycle is regular.

Liver maintains the free flow of energy circulation in the body. The liver, spleen and the kidney channels run through the pelvis and problem (like blocking) in any one of these channels affect the menstruation.
