Product Description:
Flax was traditionally grown both for its fibre, which was woven into linen cloth, and for its seeds, which provided Omega 3-rich oils as well as other nutrients and mucilage fibre for normalising gastro-intestinal function. use of flax to relieve inflamed mucous membranes and for relieving abdominal pains and diarrhoea.
Freshly-ground flax should be taken with plenty of fluid because its mucilage absorbs 5 times the seeds’ weight of water. The use of freshlyground flax seeds can improve digestion, prevent and reverse constipation, stabilise blood sugar levels and bring about many other beneficial effects.
As part of a colon cleanse programme, linseeds are most effective if kept whole and soaked for 8 hours. After soaking, drink the seeds along with the water to obtain the benefits of the mucilage which forms. The fresh oil of the flax seed is the richest omega 3 edible oil we know, containing on average 55% linolenic acid. It has a rich, deep golden colour with a gentle, pleasant aroma and a nutty taste. If it tastes too heavy, the freshness must be questioned.
