Seed cycling can be a beneficial natural approach to support hormonal balance, especially around menstrual cycles. You mentioned consuming roasted flax, pumpkin, sesame, and sunflower seeds whole and chewing them with water.
For maximum absorption and hormonal benefits, it is highly recommended to grind the seeds before consuming, especially:
Flax and sesame seeds: Their outer shell is hard, and chewing may not be enough to release lignans and essential fatty acids.
Pumpkin and sunflower seeds are slightly easier to digest but grinding still improves nutrient bioavailability.
